J If it makes you uncomfortable, I'll withdraw that

BW Thank you.

J If a source told you info off the record, could you use info using that source?

BW You shouldn't. You know what somebody has told you, Off the record, but it should no be in the story.

J Condition of Deep Background in which Libby spoke to you on June 27, is that uncommon.
