Got Some Free Time And You Don't Know What To Do With Yourself?

From Investigating the Pentagon's pundits:

On April 20, the New York Times reported on the Pentagon military analyst program, a concerted effort by the U.S. Defense Department to cultivate retired military officers as "message force multipliers" or "surrogates" spouting Bush administration talking points on Iraq and other hot-button issues.

Shortly afterwards, the Pentagon publicly posted the documents obtained by the New York Times. However, the documents were formatted in such a way that text searches could not be performed on them. This made systematic analysis of the information nearly impossible.

The Center for Media and Democracy has converted the documents, so that they can be searched by keyword. The searchable documents are now available via SourceWatch, at:

• Pentagon military analyst program: Documents and also via Scribd.com. Note: The easiest way to search for a term in all the Pentagon pundit documents is to go to:


• this page on Scribd.com and use the "Search within the Pentagon pundit documents Group" option in the left sidebar.
