<Snip>

"Dr. Wm. Winkenwerder, Asst. Sec. of Defense for Health Affairs, says he never received information about concerns such as Dana Priest wrote about in WaPo last Sunday."

This means, " We hoped that the deplorable conditions would never become public. Now that they have, we are spending time covering our asses."
