“U.S. military leaders in Baghdad have put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for extensive monitoring of U.S. and Middle Eastern media.” reports The Washington Post, “in an effort to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq.”
This is necessary, I can only presume, because of the $318 billion the U.S. has spent to produce all of the bad news from Iraq in the first place.
