How in the world was this guy approved to be in the press pool?

Is there anything in a public records database that would have denied him entry? They can't do a full background check for a day pass -- there's nowhere near enough time. And that assumes that this isn't just some made-up hoax, which, though unlikely, is still a slim possibility.

I didn't realize that's all he had. I need to keep reading--this story is getting no coverage here and though I was in the US last week, I left just when this was breaking.

"And that assumes that this isn't just some made-up hoax, which, though unlikely, is still a slim possibility."

That is a good point.

Like I said in my earlier post, I can see both sides, though if everything about this guy is true, I guess I'd have a hard time publicly supporting him.
