"Petraeus" Report

This LA Times story appears to get it both right and wrong:

According to the officials, Gen. David H. Petraeus is expected to propose the partial pullback in his September status report to Congress...

and, later,

Despite Bush's repeated statements that the report will reflect evaluations by Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, administration officials said it would actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government.

So we were led to believe that the General would be making a status report to Congress, not presenting a "Petraeus" Report written by the White House .

Add this to the long list of "stuff Bush misled us about."
