gee, who would find this report "politically sensitive"?

Pentagon blocks report on Saddam-al Qaeda ties.
On Monday, McClatchy reported that a “review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents” captured after the U.S. invasion “has found no evidence” that Saddam Hussein “had any operational links” with al Qaeda. But ABC News reports today that the Pentagon apparently doesn’t want the study “to get any attention” as it has canceled “plans to send out a press release announcing the report’s release and will no longer make the report available online.” One Pentagon official “said initial press reports on the study made it ‘too politically sensitive.’”

I guess that even more proof that this administration lied to us regarding Iraq is "politically sensitive" for the repugs but is that really a reason to attempt to hide this info from the American public?
