Jack Jacobs, military analyst, is on MSNBC unloading on Rummy and Bremer

[deminks]

Keith is on with Lawrence O'Donnell and Jacobs looking back on Iraq. The words insanity and hubris are free flowing. That was amazing. I thought Jacobs was part of the Pentagon Propaganda teevee expert program?

UPDATE II: For some added irony: on his NBS News broadcast last night suppressing any mention of David Barstow's Pulitzer Prize, Brian Williams' lead story concerned Obama's trip to the CIA yesterday. Featured in that story was commentary from Col. Jack Jacobs, identified on-screen this way: "Retired, NBC News Military Analyst." Jacobs was one of the retired officers who was an active member of the Pentagon's "military analyst" program, and indeed, he actively helped plan the Pentagon's media strategy at the very same time he was posing as an "independent analyst" on NBC (h/t reader gc; via NEXIS). So not only did Williams last night conceal from his viewers any mention of the Pentagon program, he featured -- on the very same broadcast -- "independent" commentary from one of the central figures involved in that propaganda program.

OK. so the war is sorta over. Where are the congressional committee subpoenas and investigations? Where are the war crimes trials?

No, they cover up the big lie until the next time they need it.
