Description

This report provides an opinion on whether the DoD violated the appropriations prohibition on publicity or propaganda in its 2002 through 2008 outreach to retired military officers (RMO) who served as media analysts. The auditor concluded that the outreach program did not violate the publicity or propaganda prohibition. Although there is no doubt that DoD attempted to favorably influence public opinion with respect to DoD's war policies in Iraq and Afghanistan through RMOs with conf. calls, meetings, travel and access to senior DoD officials, the auditor found no evidence that DoD attempted to conceal its outreach from the public nor was there evidence that DoD contracted with or paid RMOs for positive commentary or analysis.
