    Analyze Pentagon Military Analyst Program - Knock Yourself Out!

    "Investigate the Pentagon Pundit Project - and the New York Times - Yourself, Online" from Wired reports that for all the kvetching by bloggers, media, etc. over the alleged Pentagon briefings of generals who went out in turn and pushed the war in Iraq being a secret - voila - the evidence of all is right online now - so that the public can plough through the oodles of information and draw their own conclusions.

    Documents released to NY Times about Pentagon Defense Analyst Program

    Many in the military community were thoroughly unimpressed with the piece -- especially since several of the officers featured in the expose were vocal critics of the conduct of the Iraq war. Liberal bloggers and media-watchers, on the other hand, were disgusted by what they saw as the latest disclosure of "the incestuous, extensive overlap between our media institutions and government officials." The outrage only grew, as the television networks decided not to cover the Times' scoop. Just today, Sen. John Kerry called for a "full investigation of this program," which the Pentagon claims is now suspended.
