Pentagon Releases Documents on Briefings of Retired Generals
Tags: FOIA, Pentagon Propaganda, Retired Generals
The Pentagon has just posted thousands of pages of documents relating to its briefings of retired generals turned TV analysts. It's the same batch of documents that were FOIA'd by the New York Times' David Barstow and became the centerpiece on his mega-story about the briefings. Readers, have at it and please let us know what you find.
