People with something to hide usually try to hide that something. Not a remarkable leap of logic, but lots of people are refusing to make it. The Bush administration doesn't have anything to hide, it's just, let's see, behaving prudently, or protecting executive privilege, or refusing to speculate.

That last excuse is used for the question, "How much is the occupation of Iraq costing?" The Defense Department refuses to speculate. I mean, the Pentagon brass could look at the invoices and the pay stubs and get a rough idea, but they're unwilling to do that.


The reason they're hiding the cost of the Iraqi war is because the American public will go into sticker shock when they see the price tag..........$500-600 billion by many estimates.

And then we'll hunt down the GOP, tar and feather them for their fiscal indifference, and run them out of town. <g>

It staggers my mind the arrogance of this administration. And the American public is in for a very rude awakening.
