“then why are you clinging to what you heard from these drivebys on that day as now something reliable???”

I'm not clinging to any stories, I'm telling you there has been a lot of conflicting information, even a story about talking to a dead principal.

A lot of the original stories have been scrubbed. But if you read through the one on the NBC video, you can see a lot of contradictions. Also I respect Pete WIlliams. At one time he was the Pentagon Spokesperson. I respected him then and still do. He's not a fly-by-night journalist.

Prior to joining NBC, Williams served as a press aide on Capitol Hill and at the Pentagon for a number of years. In 1986 he joined the Washington, D.C. staff of then Congressman Dick Cheney as press secretary and legislative assistant.[2] In 1989, when Cheney was named Secretary of Defense, Williams was appointed Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, and served as Pentagon Press Secretary. While in that position as the Pentagon's principal spokesman, Williams was named Government Communicator of the Year in 1991 by the National Association of Government Communicators.

“On Saturday morning, Dec. 15, one day after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, NBC’s chief justice correspondent, Pete Williams, spoke with “Today” show host Matt Lauer.

Williams shared “new information this morning from a couple of federal officials and state officials.” Said Williams, “They say now that there were actually four handguns recovered inside the school, not just two as we were initially told; four handguns and apparently only handguns that were taken into the school.”

Williams said that Lanza also brought an “assault style, AR-15 style rifle” with him to school, but, he added, “We have been told by several officials that he left that in the car.”

Pete Williams apologized for that story later that night on NBC Nightly News.

So which are you going to cling to: his first broadcast that day where he got EVERYTHING in it wrong or his second broadcast that day on the NBC Nightly News in which he apologized for his first broadcast in which he got everything wrong.

Which of those two do you think Pete stands by???
