There is a lot more to the Iraq payola scandal than was initially reported. Beltway Pinto Beans, a new investigative blog, has unraveled the many connections between the Lincoln Group, the group which paid off all of the Iraqi papers to pass off Bush administration propaganda as news, and the Republican Party.

The Republicans have been caught flat-footed, with Senator John Warner waffling and flip-flopping over whether or not to investigate the Penatgon. But it is clear that the Bush administration is incapable of carrying on an honest debate over Iraq. Therefore, instead of trying to do so, they pay off journalists in Iraq to pass off propaganda as news.
