You know how all of Bush and His Evil Minions™ have been talking about David Petraeus's report on progress in Iraq? It now appears that there is no such thing as the Petraeus Report. Instead, "Despite Bush’s repeated statements that the report will reflect evaluations by Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, administration officials said it would actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government."
But it gets EVEN BETTER. It appears that the Bush administration won't even let Petraeus testify before congress at a public hearing. "Senior congressional aides said yesterday that the White House has proposed limiting the much-anticipated appearance on Capitol Hill next month of Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker to a private congressional briefing, suggesting instead that the Bush administration's progress report on the Iraq war should be delivered to Congress by the secretaries of state and defense."
I guess that they are afraid that the good General might tell the truth.
