Pentagon Tries To Bury Report

Unsurprisingly the Pentagon tried to bury the report, released yesterday, that stated that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida (this of course had been the central plank of Bush's rationale for the invasion of Iraq).

The Pentagon cancelled a planned briefing about the report, and scrapped plans to post its findings on the internet. Unclassified copies of the report would be sent to interested individuals in the mail, military officials told ABC.

Another Pentagon official told ABC that initial press reports on the study made it "too politically sensitive".

Despite the Pentagon's attempts to bury the report, the media are awash with stories about it.

Mission Accomplished!
