WH Pool Report: Soldiers Knew Questions In Advance
Well, obviously.
WH Pooler Geoff Earle of the New York Post writes of the teleconference: "The soldiers, nine U.S. men and one U.S. woman, plus an Iraqi, had been tipped off in advance about the questions in the highly scripted event. Allison Barber, deputy assistant to the Secretary of Defense for internal communication, could be heard asking one soldier before the start of the event, "Who are we going to give that [question] to?"

Scripted indeed - and notice how many white soldiers were in the group. The White House is obviously trying to hide the fact that the majority of soldiers fighting and dying in Iraq are minorities.

RE: KARL ROVE
Karl "Rove "out from under the blanket" advised Conservative, James Dobson, that Harriet Miers could be counted on to do the right thing. That story got out as an insurance to ultra conservatives who are anxious about Miers' nomination to SCOTUS and succeeded in further alienating conservatives.
Rove is not very effective of late as a White House "Fixer" since he faces possible indictment by the CIA grand jury probe of the Plame case. Just this week, Bill O'Reilly of FOX NEWS said, if Rove is indicted, it will bring down the presidency. Rove is, of late, becoming a radioactive item as people distance themselves from contagion.

Looks like Carls' replacement, who has to hold down the fort while his boss is busy putting out fires of his own making, has the same experience level as our good friend brownie.
