hi. jed babbin, one of our military analysts, is hosting the michael medved nationally syndicated radio show this afternoon. he would like to see if general casey would be available for a phone interview any time between 3 and 6 pm.
...
please feel free to contact jed directly (contact info below) if the general can/would be available for the interview. this would be a softball interview and the show is 8th or 9th in the nation.

From: Allison Barber To: redacted

Hi. Thanks for sending this. Just fyi, probably wouldn't put "softball" interview in writing. If that got out it would compromise jed and general casey.

Interesting memo, this is one back in 2002 which if all remember Victoria Clark - Public Relation to Rumsfeld...She went on to become a talking point on the major network news channels. She has he hand in this...Propaganda went out daily while standing at Rumsfeld side at the daily briefings.

"Staff:
For the first 4 mths, I would like to send over a Pentagon Channel producer and broadcaster. These folks will help create the
assignment desk and will help facilitate the flow of products.
We are ready to engage and create the new show. Understand that in a month, we will want to review the concept with you and
your team and adjust as needed.
Folks back home complain that they never see the other side of the story... let's create the show and get out the word.
As a side note, the Discovery Channel/Military Channel just met with us last week. They want to start broadcasting Pentagon
Channel programming. This news show would be perfect for their network"

Page 3379 - talks about the travel of the military analysts that the Pentagon hired and put them in the major networks and travel on tax payers "dime"?

The question is who is paying for the travel of these analysts? The news media net work or the tax payer?

http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/milanalysts/13%20Apr%2007/06-F-01532%20doc%2011.pdf

Page 7 - Not too egregious, but definitely shows that the Pentagon sees these analysts as tools to spread a particular point of view (emphasis added):

...the strategic target remains our population. We can lose people day-in and day-out, but they're never going to beat our military. What they can and will do if they can is strip away our support. And you guys can help us not let that happen.

Col. Rhynedance and Larry Di Rita are trying to put together a "list of supportive folks" for Rumsfeld. On Feb 1, 2005, Rhynedance sends a list he's put together from people Rumsfeld has sent "snowflakes" to and it includes:

Colin Powell
Tenet
Scooter Libby

Di Rita tells him to take those three off the list. Libby hadn't even been indicted yet...

Does the white House have any analysts they need distracted?

what if, to earn brownie points, we let the white house know we have a plane fueled and ready for an analyst trip and asked if theY,had any analysts they need to get off their radar with a trip? Or, how about steve Sill or other friendly radio folks to fill out the plane? I know' it changes the dynamic of the trip a bit, but honestly, unless don shepard comes, there wont be a single A lister on the trip. (wayne is a b+ in my book, on a good day) :) What about joc?

Interesting sample of PR more important than military duties

Attached Is a request from Melanie Morgan from KFSO Radio in San Francisco who is Chairman of MOVE AI"1ERICA FORWARD which Is very supportive of our war efforts In Iraq. She has made a request to Gen Abizaid to bring a number of Gold Star Family members to Iraq which sounds like a good Idea If we can do It. However I know they are overloaded tn theater but It would get very good play In the media and tell our story with these dedicated families of our deceased members.

BACKGROUND:
One of the most interesting things coming from this trip to Iraq with the media analysts was learning how their jobs have been undergoing a metamorphosis. There are several reasons behind the morph ... with an all voluntary military, no one in the media has current military background. Additionally, we have been doing a good job of keeping these guys informed so that they have the ready answers when the network comeS calling. CURRENT ISSUES:
The key issue here is that more and more, media analysts are having a greateJ: impact on the television media network coverage of military issues. They have now become the goto
guys not only on breaking storys. but they influence the views on issues. They also have a huge amount of influence on what stories the network decides to cover proactively with regards to ~ilitaJ:Y.
In media ops. I have been using them more frequently to get our side of the story out with media sensitive departments such as USDI, which is typically hard to penetrate with traditionally media, but that we have found to be receptive to talking to the analysts such as Ken Robinson.

Here's the enclosed format:

for wednesday's show. i basically want to do the following:
introduce the Secretary properly by noting his distinguished background and the fact that he's uniquely qualified for the job.
talking briefly about how SpecOps has changed since the legislation of '87. that is, how it looked before and how it looks now.
mention what roles/missions each of the services play in the SpecOps
community, including some of the training they go through.
talk about the role of women in the SpecOps community.
talk about what SpecOps is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
talk about the role of SpecOps in the future.
under no circumstances will i ask or push for information which is classified or even close to it, nor will i talk politics inside or outside the beltway. this should be an enjoyable session. we'Ve got LOTS of listeners around the country, some catching it on delayed hroadcast, so we'll avoid talking about 'morning'.
questions/concerns? call me at ~~b)~(~~~----------~

Perfect. Great. Watch at 5PM. ~.1 promise to stick to script ...Thanks!

Larry.
Doing some 'TV later on Fallujah. Here are the points I will hit: -Raid on Baghdad mosque & Mosul hospital demonstrate value of having Iraqi security forces on front line of certain operations. Better to have Iraqis engaging, Iraqis at politically or religiously sites. rather than Americans engaging Iraqis. , -Discovery of terror facilities in Fallujah (slaughterhouse, terror training classroom. SOY. etcl underscore the importance of going ,into Fallujah, even if many of the terrorists were able to scatter. We've removed their base of op'~. They need these facilities to be effective. Once they're on the run and w!o access to a s&£e haven from which to build and use such facilities, harder for them to operate.
Anything else? Any other nuggets that would bolster the case for Why our strategy is working?

P. 4345 is Senor apologizing that a piece of his revealed something "not helpful." He does tell them to put it in "the bird" (apparently some roundup of news coverage) if they think it's "helpful."

Not the biggest revelation, but when I think of my relationships with the people I write about, it turns my stomach.

There were also mentions of a documentary entitled "dictatorship to democracy" the DOD put together. I sure hope that was never aired by a "legitimate" station, or that they used it.

Dan Senor is a total whore:

'Thomas McInerney' -DepSec RAND remarks on terrorism

Reference # 1. We need to atop saying this is going to be a long war ... , ... We need a Blueprint for Victory for a shorter term effort; We do not need to drag this War on Terror out. It is not fair to the American people and the world. Let's get aggressive snd deal with the nation states that continue to support international terrois. See the book, "Endgame" for answers. Flawed principle!!! War wall be conducted swiftly, decisevely and with finality. That is what the Army and DOD need to articulate. I have mentioned this to Sec Wolfowitz before.; Sends a message of weakness from the only superpower in the world.
# 2 ///Also, forget the "softer ones" regarding the War on Terror". Again, soft reflects weakness. Who is writing this nOnsense for the Sec Wolfowitz. Let's get tough and stay tough until we win. Soft sounds like Kerry on a more sensitive war, .
This talk must be revised to send the right message and a much stronger one.
My thoughts for what they are worth .

They seem to get a lot of advanced copies of WSJ editorials.

Oh, and here's something interesting:

To: Retired Military Analysts From:Public Affairs Office of the Secretary of Defense Date:October 6, 2006 Re:Conference Call With Senior DoD Officials We invite you to participate in a conference call, TUESDAY, October 10, 2006,from 2:30-3:00 p.m. General George Casey will brief you on current operations in Iraq. His biography is attached for your review. This call will be On Background. (Capitalization, not emphasis, in original.)

I didn't realize that On Background was a term d'arte. Well, now I know!

A mystery person (name blocked out throuhgout) is planning a military analyst trip sponsored by DOD to Iraq on July 8-10. One of the invitees (also blacked out) also declines. At some point, the e-mail passed through or originated with the Patton Boggs law firm.

To me, this would mean that a Patton Boggs attorney was turning the trip down (probably John C. Garrett, "unpaid" analyst for FOX News") or WORSE, Patton Boggs was planning the trip using military assets.

The e-mail communication is from trip planner person x to Public Affairs person Allison Barber -- and the last footer is from Patton Boggs.

This is from the April 14th, Barstow release. The web adddres is

There is a list of invitees to the Updates in Iraq for the date Feb. 7, 2007. The invite and the lists are on NY TIMES 4571-4573.

Our happy warriors are offered the opportunity to meet with David Petraeus on January 6, 2007, NY TIMES 4668.

On 4671-4675, 4678-4687, there are intensive discussions of network news coverage with a strong underlying concern about the coverage of Iran.

Jed Babbin (NY TIMES 4689) writes on his appointment to editor of Human Events:
GUYS: Please pardon this impersonal approach, but I'wanted you all to hear -before the rumor mill or press reports -that as of Monday, I'll be editor of Human Events, the oldest conservative journal in America. I'll be working on both the print and web editions, and concentrating on the internet side. We'll still be working together often on a variety of projects, though my brief now encompasses all of politics, not just the war and foreign policy. I think success may be measured by the number of sleepless nights we cause the liberals. Let's talk soon. (and subscribe to Human Events, folks. Always gotta sell subscriptions and ads.). I hope you all will consider submitting articles Erom time to time, Best, Jed.

If you find yourself getting lost in all the notes, emails, and details, take a step back, and consider this. There are links to the DOD Information Warfare Guide. Shows how some of the information at the FOIA-release fits in with the information warfare planning.

The US used the DOJ OLC memo to classify the United States as a combat zone for warrantless information warfare: Abusing NSLs, engaging in FISA violations, and conducting CIFA surveillance. Illegal information was gleaned from POWs and from American civilians, then cycled through the NSA into the media messaging contractors. The information warfare doesn't narrowly relate only to Iraq, but includes POW issues, Nuremberg, and war crimes in Afghanistan and Guantanamo.

Speaking of testing, he (she?) did post a set of emails related to this military analyst subject. I did particularly like the line "Do we have an official line from the analysts on this?"

I think it was an email from Allison Barber (sic?) to Eric Ruff, and I think that's where I saw it. Sorry for the sketchy memory.

Refer to PDF# 5462 Page 74/125 dated 10/12/2006

Subject: Response to Rajiv's response to Dan

"Rajiv responded today to Dan's op-ed by writing a post on super-liberal blog, Talking Points Memo Cafe, edited by Bush-bashing uber-liberal JOSH MARSHALL (my caps). It seems that Rajiv is now a "guest blogger" on Marshall's Blog, which makes Rajiv's liberal bias no longer a question but a certifiable fact. It'd be like a Washington Post assistant manager editor quest hosting for Rush Limbaugh."

http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/milanalysts/16%20Jan%2008/Tara%20Jones%20E-mails%20700-1199.pdf

NY TIMES 713,714

Does anyone know who "Wayne" is? Here is a 10-27-2006 email from "Wayne" to Dallas Lawrence (among others) regarding interrogation methods:

"Those on the Left, the Democrats, Green Party, Socialists and of course Progressive Communist Party are gasping in disbelief at the Vice Presidnets comments claiming that the use of an interrogation technique called water boarding is a 'no brainer.' However . . . . .

A Cheney spokeswoman said Thursday that the vice president was not confirming the use of any specific interrogation techniques. 'He was talking about the interrogation program without torture,' spokeswoman Lee Anne McBride said, 'The vice president does not discuss any techniques or methods that may or may not have been used in questioning.'

I am constantly amazed at the zeal with which the "Lefties" run to the aid of the terrorist's. The Left constantly complains about being called un patriotic when they attack the Bush Administration policies on the war and interrogation. Yet, now, the VP expresses an opinion on an interrogation method, not considered torture by many of us who know the technique, and he is once again lam basted as the torture VP. How many times must it be said that the US does not torture, nor do we find it necessay to torture. Contrary to what the Left would have you believe, the interrogation techniques used by the CIA are successful in extracting 'Time Sensitive INTEL' as is evidenced by the Intel extracted from KSM et. al., during their visit with CIA interrogators and before their transfer to Club Gitmo. I have advocated the use narcotics (Narcosis) during interrogations and fortunately for the American people, that option is contained in the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Propofol, a short-acting intravenous anesthetic agent used for the induction of general anesthesia in adult patients and pediatric patients older than 3 years of age; is a drug that can extract Intel from a terrorist interrogatee at greater than a 90% success rate. Propofol works by awakening the brain in stages leaving the Pre Frontal Cortex until last. The PFC is where the mechanism that allows humans to lie or exaggerate is housed. It is used thousands of times a day saely in the US in general surgery and yet, there are those that object to using it, or any drug, to extract Intel that will, and has, saved American lives.I can only hope that our CIA interrogators are using Propofol to help protect the American people. I can safely say that, fortunately at this time in US history, we have a President who understands the stakes and has battled the Left to give our military and intelligence professionals the tools they need to continue to protect us.

Take care.
Wayne"

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the contents of this email or that it appears to be sent from an AOL account. This may be old news but I thought I would flag it anyway.

Be careful out there, try not to get lam basted.

Here's something I find puzzling.... Why did they redact Gen. Casey's name in this document? You can see a piece of the "y" at the end of his name in places where it has been blocked out and it's hard to envision who else it could be from the context.

There's lots of documentation of an earlier military analyst call with General Casey at pages 56, 74 and 121 of this document.

Maybe I'm way off in the weeds and I haven't read many of the documents but it struck me as odd.

Here are some emails linked to "Karl". Is this Rove and the NSC?
