Often times news items that the government wants to keep a lid on, come out on Fridays especially late on Friday.
This is because people tend to ignore the news on the weekend.
This Friday the news involves the troops in Iraq and the state of their mental health. The news is harsh.
Posted on Friday May 4 at 6:55 PM Study: Anxiety, depression, acute stress in combat troops
Why would the government not want people to know this information?
In the upcoming election of 2008, Republican candidates are indicating that they will continue with the Bush stay the course in Iraq policy and there is a very keen desire to maintain a Republican Presidency, the stakes are high. Unfortunately the troops suffer the brunt of it. Yet we continue to hear the words support the troops especially from those with so much to lose politically.
