Pentagon Report on Saddam's Iraq Censored?

[sabra]

Source: ABC News

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The Bush Administration apparently does not want a U.S. military study that found no direct connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda to get any attention. This morning, the Pentagon cancelled plans to send out a press release announcing the report's release and will no longer make the report available online.

The report was to be posted on the Joint Forces Command website this afternoon, followed by a background briefing with the authors. No more. The report will be made available only to those who ask for it, and it will be sent via U.S. mail from Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia.

It won't be emailed to reporters and it won't be posted online. Read the report's executive summary HERE.

Asked why the report would not be posted online and could not be emailed, the spokesman for Joint Forces Command said: "We're making the report available to anyone who wishes to have it, and we'll send it out via CD in the mail."

Sabra did a good job of summarizing. The end of the document has Exhibits, in reverse chronology, that, presumably, tell of the terror programs and links they did find.

7. Hmmm...scrubbed?

With a MAC, Firefox, Acrobat 5.0, all I get is nine blank pages with a watermark "EXSUM Extract Only." Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone PM me a good link? Thanks!
Never mind, got it with safari.
