parts of it are censored, but who ever did this wasn't very clever. it is easy to "un-censor" it:

Part of the report deal with the current situation in Iraq, that is info the the Goverment don't want to be public. They want you to know in whant kind of situation the soldiers are.
Among the censored parts is the number of insurgent attacks between 1. November 2004 - 12. March .2005 (3.306, 2.400 against coalition troops)
apparently the info that the route taken by the italians is the only route to the airport is also not important for the public.
Also "not important" is the fact that the communication to the control point was interruted....

The 1-76 TOC had two means of communicating with 4th Brigade, its higher headquarters: Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and FM. The 1-76 FA Battle Captain was using only VOIP to communicate with 1-69 IN, but experienced problems with VOIP, therefore losing its only communication link with 1-69 IN, other than going through 4th Brigade. (Annex 97C). As a result, the Battle Captain was unable to pass updated information about the blocking mission either directly to 1-69 IN, or to 4th Brigade. He did not attempt to contact 4th Brigade via FM communications. (Annex 63C). Fourth Brigade, in turn, could not pass updated information to its major command, 3ID. (Annex 57C). Likewise, 3ID had no new information to pass to its subordinate command, 2/10 MTN. Finally, 2/10 MTN was thus unable to pass updated information to its subordinate command, 1-69 IN. (Annexes 51C, 52C).

What do you think? is the censorship adequate, excessive or inadequate? Would you like to be more informed?
