The U.S. military has secretly paid Iraqi newspapers to run dozens of pro-American articles written by a special military unit, The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper also reported that the "Information Operations Task Force" in Baghdad has bought an Iraqi newspaper and taken control of a radio station, and was using them to disseminate pro-American views as well.
So much for winning their hearts and minds. Apparently, the ideas of a free unbiased press is not something we are fighting for in Iraq. This should not be surprising, but it is.
