- Right Web | Pentagon Reined in Cheney's Plans for Iran Strikes
  Posted by okami
  Pentagon officials firmly opposed a proposal by Vice President Dick Cheney last summer for airstrikes against Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases by insisting that the administration would have to make clear decisions about how far the United States would go in escalating the conflict with Iran, according to a former George W. Bush administration official.

- Josh Silver: TV's Response to Pentagon Propaganda? Never Happened - Media on The Huffington Post
  Posted by jcstearns from Huffington Post
  The quest for quality journalism and for the truth about the fast sell on the Iraq war just hit a new low. And today, in the ensuing days, our loyal Bush lapdog news outlets are either dismissing the damning revelation or pretending it never happened.

- DoD Watchers Mull the Next President
  Posted by okami from Military
  Kansas City Star | By Scott Canon | February 20, 2008 Truman had MacArthur. Kennedy stumbled into the Bay of Pigs. George W. Bush returned the force of nature that is Donald Rumsfeld to the Pentagon. Whoever becomes the next commander in chief will wade into the sometimes uneasy world where admirals and generals cross paths, and sometimes swords, with presidents.

- Will Army's ray gun see action in Iraq?
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  It's a ray gun that neither kills nor maims, but the Pentagon has refused to deploy it out of concern that the weapon itself might be seen as a torture device.

- Walter Reed patients told to keep quiet
  Posted by Kathy from Armytimes
  The Army Times reports that soldiers in Building 18 at Walter Reed Hospital must have to have rooms ready for daily inspection by 7 am -- and they can't talk to the press. "It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training." Seems to me that it would be unusual to have people in a hospital facility subject to an inspection, period. Are these soldiers being penalized for media reports on conditions at the hospital?

- Report Says Pentagon Manipulated Intel
  Posted by Jeff from AP News
  Gimble said that while the actions of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy "were not illegal or unauthorized," they "did not provide the most accurate analysis of intelligence to senior decision makers" at a time when the White House was moving toward war with Iraq.

So let me get this straight, Cheney authorizes Libby to speak to the press on matters of secret national security but our troops can’t talk about conditions in the VA?

Following up on its earlier report, the WaPo says that family members, soldiers, veteran’s groups (and others) have been complaining about Walter Reed for three years. The Army’s surgeon general supposedly knew about the complaints.

The Post lists public comment after public comment … going back to just after the Iraq War…. detailing problems…. and the need to develop solutions. :-/
