A reconstruction by whom..Pravda?

Please indicate where you are finding these tidbits..

If its from MoveOn.Org...it would be nice to be able to simply and
justifyably ignore it.


They are the direct quotes that resulted from the resaerch I did Gunner.

Once Again:

"Gibbs said yesterday that the campaign had planned to inform the traveling
media members sometime on the morning of the flight to Ramstein that Obama
was intending to visit the hospital but had made no plans to take reporters,
including even the small, protective press pool that now accompanies him
most places."

"Reporters, he said, probably would have been able to get off the plane but
not leave an air base facility close by. "We had made absolutely no
arrangements to transport the press to the hospital," he said."

"On Friday afternoon, en route from Berlin to Paris, Gibbs briefed reporters
traveling with Obama. He noted that the candidate had visited wounded
soldiers several weeks earlier at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the
District and at a combat support hospital while in Iraq earlier in the
week -- both times without reporters.""


You still didnt report the source John.

Is there some reason you are unwilling to provide the cite?

Embaressed to let us know where you cut and pasted that from?
