We speak with Willem Marx, a former intern with the Washington-based government contractor, the Lincoln Group. He spent a summer in Baghdad paying to plant pro-American articles secretly written by the U.S. military in the Iraqi press. [includes rush transcript] He held a loaded submachine gun while being driven through Baghdad by two Kurdish security men. He had three million dollars in cash locked inside his bedroom in the Green Zone. Armed with a gun, he interrogated Iraqi employees about whether they were doing their job. He spent a summer in Baghdad paying to plant pro-American articles in the Iraqi press that were secretly written by the US military."
