Don't ask about Iraq security -- it's too risky

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/OWE443546.htm

BAGHDAD, April 24 (Reuters) - Iraq's U.S.-led authorities are telling anyone who wants information about risks in the violence-torn country to seek it elsewhere.

"For security reasons, there are no security reports," says the weekly reports section of the Coalition Provisional Authority website (http://www.cpa-iraq.org/weeklies.html).

2. Wow! I thought only bush would issue such nonsense!

That statement encapsulates the whole occupation, imo. " "For security reasons, there are no security reports," says the weekly reports section of the Coalition Provisional Authority website. Unbelievable!

4. This is responsible propaganda control

The military leaders can see an administration change on the horizon and don't want to lose their careers spewing right wing lies

So for them it is better to say nothing at all
