Post Drops Plan to Promote Pentagon Event
By David Montgomery

The Washington Post announced yesterday that it will back out of a
controversial co-sponsorship of a Pentagon-organized event next month
to remember the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and
support the troops in Iraq.
The newspaper notified the Department of Defense that it would no
longer donate public service advertising space to help promote the
Freedom Walk, an event planned for Sept. 11.
At the conclusion of the procession from the Pentagon to the Mall,
there will be a performance by country star Clint Black, who recorded
the song "I Raq and Roll."
"As it appears that this event could become politicized, The Post has
decided to honor the Washington area victims of 9/11 by making a
contribution directly to the Pentagon Memorial Fund," said Eric Grant,
a Post spokesman.
"It is The Post's practice to avoid activities that might lead readers
to question the objectivity of The Post's news coverage."
