Amendment puts spotlight on Pentagon propaganda 09 May 2012 A member of the House Armed Services Committee threatened an amendment to block funding for Pentagon propaganda efforts Wednesday, citing USA TODAY reports questioning their efficacy and management. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., called the information operations program a “fiasco” and said contracts with the largest propaganda contractor, Los Angeles-based Leonie Industries, should be immediately suspended. Johnson also called for an investigation into reprisals against the USA TODAY journalists who have reported on the program, whom he said were “targeted in a possibly criminal disinformation and reputation attack.”
