MIAMI, Sept. 8 — "The Bush administration’s Office of Cuba Broadcasting paid 10 journalists here to provide commentary on Radio and TV Martí, which transmit to Cuba government broadcasts critical of Fidel Castro, a spokesman for the office said Friday."

It's understandable. A free press is essential to the proper function of a democracy. Bush & Co. are hell-bent upon destroying that for their own purposes. Wherever they go.

Should be impeachable in and of itself.

But the worst part is that the demonizing which comes from these folks is used by naive people to form their immutable belief systems.

As intended, by the way, by Bush & Co.

"After Mr. Williams admitted in 2005 to accepting money from the Federal Education Department through a public relations company, federal auditors said the Bush administration had violated the law by disseminating “covert propaganda.”

"A few months later, The Los Angeles Times reported that the Pentagon had paid millions of dollars to another public relations firm to plant propaganda in the Iraqi news media and pay friendly Iraqi journalists monthly stipends."
