Whenever there's a fact to be withheld, a Bush will be there to withhold it

If the facts are inconvenient, just cover them up:

BAGHDAD - The Iraqi government withheld recent casualty figures from the United Nations, fearing they would be used to present a grim picture of Iraq that would undermine the coalition's security efforts, U.N. officials said Wednesday.

You can bet that if the facts had shown a dramatic abating of the violence, the Iraqi government would have been delighted to release them. So, we can be certain they don't. You can also bet that the Bush administration played a major role in the decision to withhold the facts. Whenever there's a fact to be withheld, a Bush will be there to withhold it.
