Pentagon Contractors Attacked Kerry

In an in-depth investigation by Andrew Buncombe this weekend, a link was discovered between the Lincoln Group and the intense propaganda smear campaign that sunk John Kerry's bid for presidential election.


The Lincoln Group has come under intense public scrutiny for planting pro-government propaganda inside Iraqi newspapers recently. According to the article, "Lincoln Group also lists as a partner the Virginia-based private intelligence group WCV3 Security. Last year that company's executive vice-president took unpaid leave to produce Stolen Honour: Wounds That Never Heal, a film that, at a critical time in the presidential election campaign, condemned the Democrat John Kerry and questioned his version of events in Vietnam."
The Lincoln Group has strong Republican ties. It was handed $100 million dollars by the U.S. Defense Department for executing a propaganda campaign in Iraq despite the fact that it is run by a thirty year old businessman with zero P.R. or Intelligence experience.
