The apparatus is being set up

The Pentagon is putting together a "war room" to distribute information out of Baghdad.

Despite their denials, the real purpose appears to be to provide fact ready talking points to administration spokespeople.

Defense officials familiar with the plan said it will provide information to other federal agencies, including the White House and State Department, so that officials can speak more consistently and accurately about the war.

No, says the Pentagon. It's not a propaganda tool. We just decided to set it up now. (Because no one ever wanted information out of Baghdad before, apparently.)

(And notice that their customers are not Congress or the press.)
