Last November, CBS' Armen Keteyian filed a blistering expose of the Veterans Administration that claimed that the VA was failing to monitor the suicide rate of its mentally ill patients. Now a federal lawsuit against the VA by veterans rights groups corroborates Keteyian's reporting in spades. Keteyian filed an Investigation follow-up, citing internal VA e-mails that are evidence in the case. The memos were sent by Ira Katz, the VA's head of mental health, to his public relations team.
Shortly after Katz told Keteyian that the VA had 790 patients attempt suicide each year, Katz' memo revealed the larger number of "about 1,000 suicide attempts per month." Just three days after Katz stated that Keteyian's statistic of 6,200 annual suicides was "not, in fact, an accurate reflection in the rate," Katz wrote an e-mail citing a daily average of 18 suicides, which works out at 6,570 annually. Keteyian quoted from the e-mail title: "Not for the CBS News interview request." Its first line was: "Shhh!" It ended: "Is this something we should carefully address before someone stumbles on it?"
Katz denied any cover-up. He explained that the suicide data were not published "because of questions over the reliability and consistency of the findings."
