When you don't like what a report concludes, classify it "secret" so you can spin what you want....

"Walker was unable to go into further details, as the rest of the GAO's conclusions in the report on sectarian violence have been DECLARED SECRET BY THE PENTAGON, and urged senators to read the classified version of the study."......declared secret by the very organization who wants to spin something other than the truth....Is it a good sign that the US Military has taken sides in a political battle within our country?

US auditor queries military Iraq casualty figures

An independent US government auditor on Friday cast doubt on US military statistics expected to show a huge dip in sectarian violence in Iraq under the current troop surge strategy.

"The primary difference between us and the military is whether or not violence has been reduced with regard to sectarian violence," Walker told the Senate Armed Services committee.

"It is unclear whether sectarian violence in Iraq has decreased -- a key security benchmark," the report said, pointing to the difficulty in judging whether a killing was sectarian or criminal in nature."

"I think you need to ask him how he defines sectarian violence," Walker told senators.

"You know, it's extremely difficult to know who did it, what their intent was."

said there would be a report."
