U.S. Troops Given Misleading, Inaccurate Bios Of Democratic Lawmakers Visiting Iraq

This morning, the Washington Post has a story on how lawmakers are being “slimed in the Green Zone” when they travel to Iraq for congressional delegation trips. Reps. James Moran (D-VA), Jon Porter (R-NV), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) recently returned from such a trip. While there, Tauscher and Moran noticed sheets of paper that “seemed to be everywhere” in the Green Zone, “distributed to Iraqi officials, U.S. officials and uniformed military of no particular rank.”

The sheets of papers were short, thumbnail biographies of the two lawmakers. ThinkProgress has obtained copies of the bios for Moran and Tauscher. Instead of receiving the official bios readily available on the congressional websites, the U.S. troops were given new ones that cherry-pick the representatives’ “most incendiary” statements:

When our own government is better at propaganda and thought control than is the PRC.

I swear to all that's holy, every single member of the Bush administration deserves to be shot for treason. I don't hold with capital punishment so I don't advocate shooting the traitors but they do deserve it.

So do some members of Congress, of course, but that doesn't invalidate the original thesis.
