The firm, the Rendon Group, has worked for U.S. government agencies, including the CIA, which paid it to boost the image of the Iraqi National Congress (INC), a U.S.-backed group of Iraqis opposed to Saddam Hussein. That effort in the mid-'90s ended with an investigation by the CIA's inspector general over how a reported $23 million was spent in behalf of the INC and its leader, Ahmed Chalabi. The Pentagon is paying Rendon to monitor the news media in 79 countries, conduct focus groups, create a counterterrorism Web site that will provide information on terrorist groups and the U.S. campaign against terrorism, and recommend ways the U.S. military can counter disinformation and improve communications. Lt. Col. Kenneth McClellan, a Pentagon spokesman, said the contract is for $397,000 and lasts 120 days.
