Pentagon pulls the Ed Schultz show off AFN before it even airs

Radio host says he was gagged by Pentagon
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- A talk radio host says his program, slated to debut on a Pentagon radio station Monday, was pulled to punish him for airing audio embarrassing President Bush.

Ed Shultz played an audio tape of Pentagon communications official Allison Barber helping troops in Iraq rehearse for their broadcast video teleconference with the president last week. Barber walked them through questions and their answers and warned them the president might ask questions not from the script.

The incident was widely considered an embarrassment to the White House, which appeared to be coaching soldiers for its own political purposes.

1. Shouldn't have questioned your government, Mr. Schultz.

After all, the troops are fighting for your freedom. :eyes:
