Yea that is what it mentioned somewhat in the article:

JEREMY SCAHILL: Right, I mean, like much of US policy now, the Bush administration is sort of pushing everything for the next president to deal with. And the reality is that this is outraging the Iraqi government. As I was coming in here today, I was reading the comments of the puppet Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. I mean, let’s be clear here. He’s not really the prime minister of Iraq. There’s not really a sovereign Iraqi government. But even the puppet leader of Iraq is coming forward and saying this is a company that’s engaged in a massacre, and Iraq is saying that this was not done with the approval of the Iraqi government. I mean, this shows, though, how central this company has become to the US occupation.

I find it wrong how the administration expects nobody to actually care about this and how events like these and Guantanamo Bay are rarely ever showed throughout the main stream media cowardly following the administration. I wish informations like this was as widespread as the other media coverage supporting the War in Iraq instead of it just being slowly pushed aside pretending it never happened. And what really ticks me off is how usually the government today tries to hide the errors they committed by going around it, making things up, or just leaving it out of the public knowledge instead of just manning up. This is clearly evident by reading this article on this situation and this one on Guantanamo Bay and the US trying to label everyone as an enemy combatant:
