Umm, so, why is the Pentagon targeting Democratic congress members in Iraq?

I find this to be completely outrageous. It must be Smirky playing his last cards, but I gotta say this is the most despicable catapulting of the propaganda I have ever seen.

Congress members taking advantage of their August recess to visit Iraq have been shocked to discover copies of their biographies--which include detailed information about the legislators’ position on the war--in the hands of soldiers throughout the Green Zone.

“The sheets of paper seemed to be everywhere the lawmakers went in the Green Zone, distributed to Iraqi officials, U.S. officials and uniformed military of no particular rank,” writes the Washington Post in a story by Jonathan Weisman. “So when Rep. James Moran asked a soldier last weekend just what he was holding, the congressman was taken aback to find out.”

What the soldier showed Moran was his own thumbnail biography, which informed military personnel and other officials in Baghdad exactly where Moran stood on the war.

“Moran on Iraq policy,” a section of the document read, listing as well some of Moran’s more controversial quotes, including “This has been the worse foreign policy fiasco in American history,” the Post reports.
