The global "War on Truth"

Why, one is compelled to ask, would the Iraqi government withold statistics on civilian deaths from the United Nations unless they are under pressure from the Decider(TM) and his minions who are desperate to make the "Surge" appear as if it is working?

In related news the United Kingdom government refused a transit visa to Dr. Riyadh Lafta, co-author of the study published in the Lancet to allow him to pass through London on his way to present a paper in British Columbia. The United States had already denied him a visa that would have allowed him to speak at the University of Washington. What is it that an epidemiologist has to say that is so dangerous?
