Just found this from another thread.
Card invited two reporters on the trip Tuesday night on the condition that they keep it secret. Other reporters and photographers were brought into the secret on Wednesday, some of them searched out by White House aides in Texas just hours before the president's departure. In all, the press contingent included five reporters, a television producer and two-member camera crew, and five still photographers

He was a FoxNews guy - he stayed in Iraq - they interviewed him earlier.

Card invited two reporters on the trip Tuesday night on the condition that they keep it secret. This reminds me of some war correspondent during WW2 who were given the heads up on operations. They would not dare mention it for fear of harming our troops.
A long way from Nam when reporters said they would not give away operations of the VietCong if they were on a story.

The presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, appearing on CNN, called it ``a perfectly executed plan'' that would be ``one of the major moments in his biography.'' It would have provided ``an incredible thrill'' for the American.
And American citizens.
