Creepy Lincoln Group (PsyOps propagandist) website ripe for deconstruction

[BurtWorm]

The Lincoln Group is the company that has been buying pro-US propaganda space in Iraqi newspapers. They received a contract worth potentially $300 million over five years in June to use any media means necessary to promote the Bushist agenda in Iraq. One of their "achievements" thus far has been to put "inform on your neighbor" stickers on the water bottles GIs hand out.

This is the text that greets you on LG's "About Us" page:

We do, and we can help you reach, communicate and win in the communities that mean the most. Lincoln is a visionary team that combines "can do" with creativity and discipline. We work on the front lines of emerging markets and transitional nations to support a variety of private and public clients.

YOU WORK WHERE?

Our employees and consultants have worked, and continue to work, around the world in such places as Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Colombia, Indonesia and elsewhere. While others may view these locations as "inhospitable", we prefer to call them "challenging".

3. According to Josh Marshall they have subcontracted out the job >

As we know now from the LATimes and the NYTimes, the Pentagon is paying an outfit called the Lincoln Group to plant phony stories in the Iraqi press about just how well things are going in Iraq.

***

But while the DOD is hiring the Lincoln Group, the Lincoln is subcontracting the work to BKSH, the PR firm run by Republican uber-operative and spinmeister Charlie Black.

Actually, if you're looking for phony stories about how well things are going in Iraq, I guess a Republican talking head like Charlie Black might be a pretty good bet. So this might be an example of shrewd government contracting.

And if you wonder what Charlie Black knows about bamboozling Iraqis, don't worry because he must have picked something up when he was working for Ahmed Chalabi before the war.
