"I've been too busy for (National Security) briefings!"

As this is not an exact quote by Kerry, it should not appear in quotation marks (this is not a minor quibble; you have apparently falsified a quote). He never said "I've been too busy" (at least, that doesn't appear in the transcript quoted at the source).

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.
A valid headline might be this:

Kerry: "just [hasn't] had time" for nat'l security briefing

Or did Kerry say those words somewhere else?

The headline still contains an apparent fabrication. I can find no source for Kerry having said those specific words.

How 'bout Edwards telling Chris Matthews that Saddam posed "an eminent threat"? Can we use that?
