"Not a cold hard fact. A news story written in the very media you condemn."

A good case in point is the mystery surrounding Sandy Berger's guilty plea

Message 21211480

On Friday Mr. Berger pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for stealing five copies of one of the nation's most highly classified terrorism documents. The document, an "after-action" memo on the millennium 2000 terror plot authored by terrorism expert Richard Clarke, is so highly classified that any person removing it from secure rooms must do so in a case handcuffed to his or her wrist. Mr. Berger stuffed the five copies in his coat jacket and secreted them out of the archives. He proceeded to cut three of them to pieces with scissors at his downtown offices. Archive officials observed Mr. Berger stealing the documents and reported it to their superiors.

Press Briefing by Scott McClellan

Tom in Mexico blog

Keeping in mind that in this world today and, more specifically, in the United States, the issues that most concern people are (not in any particular order except for 1 and 2):

1. Terrorism/GWoT
2. Our troops in Iraq
3. Replacing 1, possibly 2, possibly 3 Supreme Court justices
4. G8 / African hunger/debt
5. HIV/AIDS
6. Social Security
7. Oil prices
8. Nuclear proliferation in Iran and Korea
9. A bloated, corrupt, inefficient United Nations
10. Hurricane aftermath in Florida and Alabama

These are the questions that presidential spokesman Scott McClellan was asked at his daily press briefing this afternoon in the order in which they occurred:

Karl Rove /Valery Plame: 1st 21 consecutive questions

Terrorism / GWot: 1 question

Karl Rove /Valery Plame: 4 questions

Our troops in Iraq - 2 questions

Karl Rove /Valery Plame: 2 questions

Wrong.

Berger apologized for the violations. He used the words "sloppy" and "mistake".

Don't start making it up as you go....the FMSM can't anymore, neither can you....
