it's all of a sudden an issue because the admin isn't releasing it. they are doing this to themselves. moreover, bush campaigned on their ability to prevent terrorism/the better choice for security reasons, bush himelf cited to the report last year when it was favorable as evidence that the iraq invasion was having the intended effect of stemming terrorist attacks around the world. it appears this report, to some degree, would cut against the assertions that the war on terror is going in our favor.
but again, it's not about the content. it's the principal and the pattern at issue. the report either isn't favorable(objectively speaking) or could be construed by many as not being favorable and thus it gets buried. that's horrible policy in an allegedly transparent democracy.
if the report is flawed or doesn't present things favorable to the admin, then release it, and say why things are still going fine. give the context. don't just hide it.
