Bush CENSORS Pentagon Report That Confirms NO Saddam/al Queda Link
Pentagon Report on Saddam's Iraq Censored?
March 12, 2008 1:58 PM

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The Bush Administration apparently does not want a U.S. military study that found no direct connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda to get any attention. This morning, the Pentagon cancelled plans to send out a press release announcing the report's release and will no longer make the report available online.

The report was to be posted on the Joint Forces Command website this afternoon, followed by a background briefing with the authors. No more. The report will be made available only to those who ask for it, and it will be sent via U.S. mail from Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia.

It won't be emailed to reporters and it won't be posted online.

Asked why the report would not be posted online and could not be emailed, the spokesman for Joint Forces Command said: "We're making the report available to anyone who wishes to have it, and we'll send it out via CD in the mail."

1. If we had a decent media ...

3. like that reporter who ignored the statement "this is off the record"
and went ahead and printed the person's comments anyway?

Please, we won't have that in the US until 1/20/2009, and a Dem is in the White House ...

2. You mean that nobody downloaded a copy of it when it was available?
And if its on CD then it surely will be on line within a very very short time. We are no longer in the days of the pony express. If it exists and it was created by our Government then it is ours and you can bet it will be available to anyone who wants to see it very soon if its not on some private web site right now.
