Harry Reid Promises Hearings on Pentagon Puppets
| Sun May. 11, 2008 11:03 AM PDT
Harry Reid is at Firedoglake promoting his (well-received) new book — it's a real sign of the seriousness with which Washington's political establishment takes the blogosphere, by the way, when the Senate Majority Leader does an online book salon with a blog — and he was asked this question by a reader:
Lish: Senator, are you planning to hold hearings on the illegality of the Pentagon's propaganda training program of retired military officers that was recently exposed by the New York Times and Glenn Greenwald?
Reid's response:
Reid: The answer is yes. I have personally spoken to Chairman Levin and he is tremendously concerned as I. And we are proceeding accordingly.
That's good news. Lawmakers have been clamoring over the Pentagon puppets scandal, but the news media has largely been silent. If there are hearings, that will have to change.

Great. I hope the hearings about the Pentagon's propaganda training of retired military officers begins right away and maybe we will discover that there has been more RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVE propaganda training than just the retired military officers. It appears to me that RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVE propaganda training is and has been the Clinton administrations, the Bush administrations and the RIGHT WING media's practice for many, many years, and it is time for a change, so that the LEFT can bring balance.
