Department of Defense Usurps Department of State Power!

I am not saying that that having the Department of State or Department of Defense "paying" a contractor to write and print good news about USA for Iraqi's is a good thing or a bad thing just that WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF THE PRESS?!

Isn't this the job of the free press of the world?

I guess Haliburton must have a marketing department that has figured out a new way to make money off of this Bush League War
