Pentagon has started picking teams


At Daily Kos, there is talk of a curious meeting held by Major General Kenneth Hunzeker, the Army officer in charge of the Iraqi police training program. Who was he meeting? Bloggers. A curious selection? A random groupoing? Well, so far the Daily Kos can find no one with even a hint of left-leaning (commie-pink-liberals) asked to it.

Why though?

Well, if you only pick the bloggers who are habitually toadying to the White House, you get questions like: "why are we winning so quickly?", "Why are we go great?", "Can anything kill the Grimus?" You know cutting and informative questions.

From Daily Kos:
Yes, by only talking to the war-supporting arm of the blogosphere, the highly partisan rightwing side of the blogosphere, the Pentagon can find an outlet for all of the "good news" coming out of Iraq, that good news that the damned liberal media just refuses to report on. Including bloggers from the left would certainly have meant for some tough questions for Major Gen. Hunzeker, and it would have been a good deal more difficult to tout those successes.
