Bob Woodward: Bush Misleads On Iraq

Per Bob Woodward on CBS:

The situation is getting much worse, says Woodward, despite what the White House and the Pentagon are saying in public. “The truth is that the assessment by intelligence experts is that next year, 2007, is going to get worse and, in public, you have the president and you have the Pentagon [saying], ‘Oh, no, things are going to get better,’” he tells Wallace. “Now there’s public, and then there’s private. But what did they do with the private? They stamp it secret. No one is supposed to know,” says Woodward.

Woodward’s guess is as good as anybody’s, however I have a hard time believing that any real shocking secrets can be kept private anymore, not with the New York Times in charge (wiretapping, detainee treatment, Plame, NIE statements, et al.)  This administration is being watched like none before it.
