After receiving requests from more than 400 reporters, the Pentagon chose an initial group of 58 (including one reporter from the United Arab Emirates and another from Russia's Tass News Service) and plans several more boot camps before any shooting starts in Iraq.

400, that's a familiar number. Do you think all the CIA media assets applied to be embedded reporters in the case of war with Iraq? And these reporters were hand picked by the Pentagon. It's a sure thing one criteria was pliability of the asset. They would not pick any from Village Voice, that's for sure. Be sure to check out the picture and caption at that link.

Puff Piece for the FBI

aim.org

The cover story in the May 26th U.S. News & World Report is a puff piece about FBI director Robert Mueller "changing the FBI" for the better. Tell that to FBI whistleblower Jane Turner, who is being fired for pursuing evidence that some of her FBI colleagues stole a Tiffany crystal globe from the ruins of the World Trade Center. Turner told Lisa Meyers of NBC News she was amazed to learn that members of the FBI’s elite Evidence Response Team may have committed the very crime she was investigating. But the U.S. News story by Chitra Ragavan doesn’t mention that. Instead, Mueller’s "friends and colleagues" are reported to believe that Mueller is "the right man for the job."
