Tell Attorney General Holder: "Speak the Truth!"

From SAVE:

Attorney General Eric Holder (the first African-American to hold the position), claimed in a 2009 speech: "Intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45." (http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-091019.html) The problem with his shocking statement is that it is not true. As revealed in a recent USA Today editorial, the Centers for Disease Control reports the leading causes of death for African-American women in this age group are cancer, heart disease, unintentional injuries, and HIV disease," (http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2011-02-03-sommers04_st_N.htm)

So why has this myth remained on the Justice Department website for well over a year?
