Rendon Group Bids To Run Iraq TV & Network

HeadlineDec 18, 2003

Meanwhile in Iraq, the Coalition Provisional Authority is planning to soon award a nearly $100 million contract to rebuild Iraq’s national TV, radio and newspaper infrastructure. According to O’Dwyers PR, among the companies bidding on the project is a nine-business consortium that includes the secretive PR company the Rendon Group which oversaw the formation of the Iraqi National Congress. The INC led by Ahmed Chalabi became the main Iraqi opposition group over the past decade and it has been widely accused of giving the U.S. bad intelligence about Iraq in the lead up to the invasion.
