This is the first time I've ever heard that.

Do you have a place where that information can be found? A link maybe? Where did you first learn of this "courtesy"?

Whatever would be the purpose?

I don't have a source. I just remember Gerald Ford once remarking, in an interview, that he could comment on the Gulf War because he received regular briefings.

I'm assuming that these briefings continue.
