You think Clinton justified the nickname 'Slick Willy'...   Bill Clinton aint got shit on George W. Bush.   The only thing is Bush aint smart enough to be slick...   He just hides from the public any figures or information that may make him look bad.   When you realize that any information about this corrupt and criminal cabal in the White House is going to make the little cowboy look bad, it is a wonder we have any hard facts about this moron and his schemes.

They classified as secret the last 3 months data for this report where none had been classified secret before (so we did not see it before the elections).   No real surprise here...   Just desperate moves by desperate people hoping they don't end their political careers in prison...

The Carpetbagger Report has the following to add to this story...

Keeping Iraq attack numbers under wraps

Enemy-Iniated Attacks against the Coalition and It's Iraqi Partners
- May 2003 to August 2006

The number of attacks from August 2006, and every month prior, are publicly available, but the fall of 2006 has to remain classified? Without explanation?

Of course, this does fit nicely into the Bush administration’s m.o. — when data is inconvenient, hide it.

• In March, the administration announced it would no longer produce the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, which identifies which programs best assist low-income families, while also tracking health insurance coverage and child support.
• In 2005, after a government report showed an increase in terrorism around the world, the administration announced it would stop publishing its annual report on international terrorism.
• After the Bureau of Labor Statistics uncovered discouraging data about factory closings in the U.S., the administration announced it would stop publishing information about factory closings.
• When an annual report called “Budget Information for States” showed the federal government shortchanging states in the midst of fiscal crises, Bush’s Office of Management and Budget announced it was discontinuing the report, which some said was the only source for comprehensive data on state funding from the federal government.
• When Bush’s Department of Education found that charter schools were underperforming, the administration said it would sharply cut back on the information it collects about charter schools.

When government reports conflict with the White House’s, the Bush gang has a choice — deal with the problem or change the reports. Guess which course they prefer?

Note: ::   A comment by 'libra' to the above post also suggested that the Closings of the EPA Libraries be added to the Carpetbaggers' list...
