Intelligence Leaks and Bureaucratic Positioning

Here’s where this war stands tonight. Nearly two weeks into this conflict, the official story is already cracking and the number of Americans wounded is slowly coming out. Yesterday we reported based on our sources that the number of American wounded was at least 137... Well after our report ran last night the Pentagon has now publicly acknowledge about 140 wounded. That confirms our sources on this. So why did it take a little news show like Redacted to report this info yesterday for the Pentagon to finally admit the truth?  if the number was this high, why did the American people hear so little about it until now?
