If GWB and his administration could manipulate information as you suggest,
why
are we hearing about the daily casualties in Iraq? He'd be shooting himself
in
the foot allowing the military to report it. Your arguments lose all logic.

Well, there you go John. Thanks for making my point for me, and so easily.
The information is being manipulated because we are hearing *only* about the
combat deaths, not the number of injuries, not the number of deaths by traffic
accident, disease, etc.

Are you under some illusion that only Democratic administrations play fast and
loose with the truth? Please.
