Gannon had access to the Aug 6th PDB?? (Dana Milbank)

[Goldmund]

SusanG: How did he get access to the August 6, 2001, PDB briefing - as evidenced by his posting quotes from it at Free Republic - before it was released to the public?

DM: There is a huge White House email list and sometimes things are sent out before they are posted on the White House web site. As far as I can tell, anybody claiming to be a reporter will be put on it, even SusanG. Very few are actual White House correspondents.

This is the first I've heard about this.

1. Ya know Republican shills get top priority

Forget those that actually had their loved ones die on 9/11. They aren't loyal to BushCo. because they actually care about the truth.

What a disgrace. What a farce.

2. This is how they stay ahead of the story.

And this is why their shills are always prepared and on message immediately.

4. Amazing.

Everytime I catch myself saying "nothing surprises me anymore," something like this comes along and I have to add, "well almost nothing."

6. This administration is like

a happy meal at McDonalds or something. Every time you go and get your kid one you'll get a surprise. Heh heh. :shrug:

8. more like a 'Mary Poppins' bottomless carpetbag...

5. I wonder if he got to see the whole thing

the public still has only seen the condensed version.

7. Uh why was the WH emailing this in the first place?

Hello? Emailing a classified document? Putting it on the website? How can this be an acceptable explanation? This is criminal behavior and anyone else on that massive email list would have exposed it if they got it too. Not only that but an email sent can be traced and therefore they would be able to prove this is the way he got it if he actually got it this way.

Bizarro world. It's exhausting.

9. When was it distributed? When did Gannon/Gukert write about it? eom

N/T

10. "World-o-Crap???"

I can see us reaching a point where conservatives get their news exclusively from Free Republic and liberals get it from World-o-Crap, and we're living in parallel universes.

World-o-Crap?

Anyone ever hear of this news source? "World-o-Crap?"
