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.


Sure I did.
They are "DIRECT QUOTES" from the guy. He's the source.
