WTF Is It Now?!?

Key participant in Bush's scripted, rehearsed PR stunt was a ringer, not a grunt
Catapulting the propaganda:

Reporting on the Bush-Iraq video-op, the Village Voice's Ward Harkavy finds that it involved an actor - "The soldier on the left side of the front row was actually a flak herself, though she didn't reveal it during the regime's 24-minute infomercial."

The soldier in question is Master Sgt. Corine Lombardo, whose only first-hand knowledge is in spreading propaganda. David Axe, the Village Voice's reporter in Iraq, told Harkavy: "Her job when I was with the 42nd Infantry Division included taking reporters to lunch. She lives in a fortified compound in Tikrit and rarely leaves. Many public-affairs types in Iraq never leave their bases, and they're speaking for those who do the fighting and dying."
