Some of you may have seen the letter going around lately written from a “local soldier in Iraq” that's running in all the papers and email forwarding campaigns from pro-war goons talking about how well the war is going and how Iraq is a wonderful place now thanks to the invasion. The letter ends,
I am proud of the work we are doing here in Iraq and I hope all of your readers are as well.Spc. Nathan Whitelatch
Conservative bloggers love it of course, but what's interesting is that if you type in key phrases from the letter, you'll find the one I just mentioned from Spc. Nathan Whitelatch, as well as THE EXACT SAME LETTER WORD FOR WORD also sent from Sgt. Shawn M. Grueser, Sgt. Chris Shelton, Pfc. Jason Marshall, and many many others. Whoever in the military is running this propaganda campaign was even so dumb as to send two copies of it (with different names) to the same newspaper!
Is it any wonder that no one trusts anyone?
