Give Peace a Chance

About all that needs to be said about the "scandal" of the US Military paying for "good press" in Iraq is on the Mudville Gazette.

From my simple perspective the story boils down to this: I have a gun. You have a gun. I can talk you into setting that gun down, or I can shoot you. This, I believe, is the fundamental concept - the moral imperative, in fact - establishing the need for such information operations in a war zone.
