DC brought in fmr generals into co, rhwn they worked as lobbyists to get biz 86  also acted as booster for afgan war, as reveraled by 2008 pulitzer prize davis barstow nyt "msg machine"

<a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2009/5/8/pentagons_pundits_ny_times_reporter_david">http://www.democracynow.org/2009/5/8/pentagons_pundits_ny_times_reporter_david</a>

DN:

DAVID BARSTOW: I think the program had its roots in the 2002, in the run-up to, the buildup to the war in Iraq. The main architect or architects were folks inside the Pentagon, notably Torie Clarke, who was the main spokesperson for the Pentagon at the time and a former public relations executive who had some pretty sophisticated ideas about how it is that you influence the American public in a sort of spin-saturated world, where people are increasingly cynical both of journalists and of public —- the official spokespeople of the government. And her idea, the idea that she pitched to Don Rumsfeld, then the Secretary of Defense, was that the way to really influence the American public was to try and find people who were viewed as independent of both government and the media, people who were considered authoritative and expert, people who would have an ability to cut through the spin.

And the group that they began zeroing in on were all the military analysts who were being hired in droves after 9/11 by all the major TV networks. In the view of Torie Clarke and her staff, these guys were sort of the ultimate key influencers. They were seen as, most of them, retired decorated war heroes. They were, many of them, retired generals, some three— and four-star generals. They came from an institution that traditionally is extremely trusted by the American public. And they were seen by the public not really as of the media, but not of the government either....

AMY GOODMAN: According to Media Matters, the army of analysts that you identified, what, made 4,500 appearances and quotations on ABC, ABC News, CBS, CBS Radio Network, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, CNN Headlines News, Fox News and NPR.

DAVID BARSTOW: At least that many.

AMY GOODMAN: Give us the story, the one case study, one of the case studies you do, “One Man’s Military-Industrial-Media Complex.” Tell us the story of Barry McCaffrey, General Barry McCaffrey.

DAVID BARSTOW: Well, General Barry McCaffrey is really one of the most sort of impressive military leaders. He was the youngest four-star Army general, I believe, in our history. He was the man who became famous during the first Gulf War for leading the left hook into Iraq. He also then became the drug czar under President Clinton.

And in September of 2001, an odd thing happened. Actually, the week before 9/11, he was asked to join the advisory — defense advisory board of a major private equity firm in New York called Veritas Capital, which at that moment, just at that moment, was making plans to invest heavily into defense contractors. Nine-eleven happened. Weeks later, General McCaffrey was hired by NBC to be its — one of its military analysts. And so, what you see happening with General McCaffrey in the years since is that he has been on, time and time again, talking about the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, but at the same time, most notably through his ties to Veritas Capital, he has been deeply involved in the business affairs of some of the major defense contractors who are operating in both of those war zones.

<h2>The Pentagon's military analyst program</h2>

In April 2008 documents obtained by New York Times reporter David Barstow revealed that McCaffrey had been recruited as one of over 75 retired military officers involved in the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Pentagon_military_analyst_program" title="Pentagon military analyst program">Pentagon military analyst program</a>. Participants appeared on television and radio news shows as military analysts, and/or penned newspaper op/ed columns. The program was launched in early 2002 by then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Victoria_Clarke" title="Victoria Clarke">Victoria Clarke</a>. The idea was to recruit "key influentials" to help sell a wary public on "a possible <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> invasion."<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R._McCaffrey#cite_note-analyst-0" title="">[1]</a>

<h2>Fleishman-Hillard work</h2>

McCaffrey is on the PR firm Fleishman-Hillard's "International Advisory Board," which the firm says "provides clients with advice and counsel." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a> McCaffrey also specifically advises the firm's Government Relations practice. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-3" title="">[4]</a>

Also working at Fleishman's Government Relations practice is "veteran Washington lobbyist <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Rob_Housman&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rob Housman (page does not exist)">Rob Housman</a>." McCaffrey is Housman's "former mentor," according to PR News, which in 2004 reported that McCaffrey "co-chairs the firm's homeland security practice." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-4" title="">[5]</a> "Housman was assistant director of strategic planning at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy under McCaffrey during the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Clinton_administration" title="Clinton administration">Clinton administration</a>," reported the Washington Post. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-5" title="">[6]</a>

Fleishman's homeland security practice was launched in early 2003, under McCaffrey. The Washington DC-based practice is "dedicated solely to a new department mandated by President <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=George_W.Bush" title="George W. Bush" class="mw-redirect">George W. Bush</a> called Homeland Security," The Australian reported at the time. Fleishman's William Anderson explained, "The intention is to provide better security against aggression like we had with 9/11. ... There is going to be a tremendous need for all kinds of constituencies to communicate with that department, whether it is to sell something or whether to lobby for some particular position." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-6" title="">[7]</a>

McCaffrey told National Journal that he wanted to work with Fleishman-Hillard "because, aside from its large size, 'it's already got an established reputation of delivering the goods and being a firm you can deal with on the basis of integrity.'" <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R._McCaffrey#cite_note-7" title="">[8]</a>

Fleishman-Hillard did work for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) under McCaffrey, according to a December 2000 press release from ONDCP and 1999 media accounts. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-8" title="">[9]</a> <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-9" title="">[10]</a> ONDCP paid Fleishman nearly $10 million a year for its anti-drug PR work. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-10" title="">[11]</a> Fleishman's ONDCP work included "event management, partnership development and public relations work with the entertainment industry and on the Internet." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R.McCaffrey#cite_note-11" title="">[12]</a> Some of Fleishman's ONDCP work was controversial. In particular, the firm encouraged "TV networks to slip anti-drug messages in TV sitcoms and dramas in exchange for ad time worth millions of dollars." The embedded anti-drug messages allowed the TV stations to avoid <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Public_Service_Announcements" title="Public Service Announcements">public service announcement</a> requirements, freeing up airtime that could be used for paid ads. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R._McCaffrey#cite_note-12" title="">[13]</a>

In addition, Paul Johnson, then-Fleishman's top Washington DC executive, "provided counsel to White House drug czar General McCaffrey on how to deal with an impending New Yorker article that criticized his conduct during the Gulf War." Johnson "said he counseled McCaffrey on the [Seymour] Hersh story as a 'personal favor.'" <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barry_R._McCaffrey#cite_note-13" title="">[14]</a>
