Barry McCaffrey is on the board of Dyncorps -- War Crimes Inc. He also defends the use of civilian-kiling drones. Why does NBC continue to glorify corporate-fascist war criminals?

NBC's featured interviewee Barry McCaffrey sits on the board of Dyncorps -- War Crimes, Inc. McCaffrey also defencs the use of civilian-killing drones. His presence on NBC signals a return of "Military Analysts" (genocidal perception managers) to the airwaves. Why the continual propaganda deceptions at NBC?

    Why not get Judith Miller on a program to tell how she cheer-led the nation into believing the Bush lies using the NYT, and destroying the paper's credibility at the same time?
