Subject: BS: Bush in Iraq : The rest of the Story
Seems taht a reporter from the "Rocky Mountain News" has filled in some of the blanks about the secrecy of Bush's Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad...
According to a reporter from the "News", reporters were sworn to secrecy, told that if they broke the story before Bush go the heck out, either the trip would be cancelled or ct short, depending on when the breach occured. Furthermore the reporters were told they could not speak with any servicemen in Iraq...
Now, the Wes Ginny Slide Rule and I have been discussing this and have deducted that these reporters and the corporations for whom they work were acting as Bush's stooges.
Was this *news*? Well, where is the *new* in just being dragged accross the ocean to take picture and ask no questions and tell no one until BUsh's handlers said it was okay? Yeah, this ain't news, it's olds... and it stinks...
