Many of the posters here would consider themselves allies of the White House. I don't know that means they speak for the White House.

Thomas DeFrank was just on FNC a few minutes ago. He did not refer to his sources as Bush allies, he said they were senior White House loyalists of the President.

I have two questions: 1) why would someone loyal to President Bush help Mr. DeFrank; 2) why has Mr. DeFrank changed his phraseology from his original story?

When journalists refuse to name their sources, they make it impossible to refute there stories. On what basis should I believe them?
