The 35th Anniversary of The Selling of the Pentagon
Friday, October 13, 2006

CBS News's 1971 investigation into the military's promotional activities was assailed in Congress and denounced by Vice President Spiro Agnew as "a clever propaganda attempt to discredit the defense department." Our panel will explore the firestorm and its relevance today.
