Thanks for posting this. I was going to post a thread on this myself. Everyone needs to see this report.

This article refers to a government-sponsored report on offshore outsourcing which was compiled by a number of researchers. The original report apparently showed outsourcing was damaging our economy. Because of this, it wasn't released until over a year after it was supposed to be released.

Furthermore, when the Bush junta was finally forced to release it as per the Freedom of Information Act, it had been falsely rewritten by that part of the Bush Propaganda Machine known as the Commerce Dept.

Researchers involved with writing the initial report state this is not the version of the report that they had submitted. Basically, the current report reduced or eliminated all negative findings regarding outsourcing.

The initial results were supposed to have been published before the November election. However, due to the negative impact the original report would have had, it was not published at that time. The new falsified version was finally issued on September 8, 2005.

Though there are no copies available of the original, "pre-falsified" version, it appears it was very critical of outsourcing. It seems the most damning information was changed or removed.
