U.S. Officials Misled Public about Progress in Afghanistan

Meanwhile, officials said the U.S. government was consistently misleading the public on the situation, even going so far as to skew data, in order to convince voters that the war would be successful.

An unnamed National Security Council official said that the Obama White House pressured the Pentagon to produce statistics that would back up their public claims of progress, and manipulated statistics when they did not paint a sufficiently optimistic picture.
