The pathetic excuse I read in another thread about Clapper NOT being briefed on the matter was just that, pathetic.

Can one imagine knowing “the boss” was doing an interview on National television with Diane Sawyer, and Napolitano, and nobody briefing the man. Nobody bringing him up to date.

This is one of the most mismanaged misAdministrations perhaps ever. These people can’t find their butts with either, or both hands together.

My take upon watching it was that he's a new guy who's probably been briefed thoroughly on a gazillion things BUT he was suddenly faced with a question about something he believed to be highly classified.

Remember, just because it's in the news doesn't mean you can start yacking about it if it is classified ~ all you do then is give credence to the report.

His response was identical to the one almost all these guys give when they don't know if a story has been declassified.

No doubt he will receive some briefing on better ways to deal with the problem.

Bill Clinton used to immediately change the subject, and sometimes just lie about something else to distract his questioners.
