Yea that is what it mentioned somewhat in the article:
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.
Concerns about this fascistic administration are often portrayed as the paranoid, delusional yippings of a collective "liberal" mutt.

The war is screwing everything up, too. According to Linda Bilmes, a former assistant secretary and chief financial officer of the U.S. Customs Department, the war has "limited options for the $168
billion stimulus package signed into law by President George W. Bush on
February 13": "We really had very little wiggle room in order to pass this because of
the fact that we're spending $16 billion a month on Iraq and
Afghanistan....the country could have used a
larger fiscal stimulus but there is (no) cash to accommodate it."

Yes, that stimulus is laughable, but made even more laughable in light of this greater problem. The government would rather spend billions on killing people overseas than relieving the economic recession here. It's truly fascinating to see, I think.
