If there were terrible UNCOUNTED acts taking place, what was purpose of hiding them? I'd have been much more understanding if the military had simply told the TRUTH rather than having to find out the truth this way!
12-06) 17:31 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) --
U.S. military and intelligence officials have systematically underreported the violence in Iraq in order to suit the Bush administration's policy goals, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group said.
"Good policy is difficult to make when information is systematically collected in a way that minimizes its discrepancy with policy goals," the report said.
The panel pointed to one day last July when U.S. officials reported 93 attacks or significant acts of violence. "Yet a careful review of the reports for that single day brought to light 1,100 acts of violence," it said.
Some U.S. analysts have complained for months that the Pentagon's reports to Congress on conditions in Iraq have undercounted the violent episodes.
This is so sad.
