Voila, Problem Solved
The problem of bad PR, that is.
Just like ignoring Iraqi deaths, or not letting the public know the white house logs, our criminal cabal deals with information that they'd rather you didn't know by just erasing it.
U.S. drops Baghdad electricity reports
"WASHINGTON -- As the Bush administration struggles to convince lawmakers that its Iraq war strategy is working, it has stopped reporting to Congress a key quality-of-life indicator in Baghdad: how long the power stays on.
Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week that Baghdad residents could count on only "an hour or two a day" of electricity. That's down from an average of five to six hours a day earlier this year.
But that piece of data has not been sent to lawmakers for months because the State Department, which prepares a weekly "status report" for Congress on conditions in Iraq, stopped estimating in May how many hours of electricity Baghdad residents typically receive each day. Instead, the department now reports on the electricity generated nationwide, a measurement that does not indicate how much power Iraqis in Baghdad or elsewhere actually receive."

Business as usual for this administration. If it doesn't look good, just sweep it under the rug. Of course there is so much under the rug that it's more of a giant lump than a rug. God only knows what else is under there.
Madam Karma can be a bitch when she's angry. I hope she understands exactly who is responsible for the hell this administration has cause in Iraq.
I think they think they can rely on the fluoride in the water or sumptin'.
