that isn't a bush administration (neither of the bush administrations) decision, it is the pentagon's policy and has been in place since 1991.
anyways, back on the subject, this is what communist countries do (because they're dictatorships). when something doesn't go their way, they cover it up to no end to make it seem to the rest of the world like it did go their way. china is notorious for doing this kind of thing, the soviet union did the same thing..
