The White House press office canceled the daily briefing with reporters Tuesday, dodging tough questions after the press office mistakenly revealed the identity of the top CIA official in Afghanistan.
The official was named in a list of participants of a meeting with President Obama during his brief trip to Afghanistan.
After journalists at the Washington Post questioned the White House decision, the press office scrambled to update the list of participants sent to the press pool.
On Tuesday afternoon, the White House surprised reporters by canceling the White House press briefing and instead scheduling a press call on President Obama’s decision to leave 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
That means that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney won’t have to face reporters shortly after his office made a critical error.
News of Obama’s decision on Afghanistan broke early this afternoon as he was attending the White House science fair.
Later in the afternoon, President Obama declined to take questions from reporters gathered in the Rose Garden after he made his statement on Afghanistan.
Reporters at the White House spotted several political columnists exiting the White House prior to Obama’s remarks.

Hey, Zero....
That’s why we call them “SECRET” Agents.
It’s supposed to be a secret. DUH.
Crickets . . .
The first time the President knew about it was when he read about it in the press. Oh wait . . . .this cover story has been used already . . .
“I’m not going out there!”
“I’m not going out there either. Maybe you should go out there, Bob.”
“I ain’t going out there!”
“Well......what are we going to do?”
“Let’s cancel it.”
“Yeah! That’s the answer. We’ll just cancel it.”
“”Quick! Turn out the lights! Somebody is walking down the hall!”
“This is making my hair fall out. It’s bad enough being a bald faced liar, now I’ll be a bald headed liar.”
This is yet again a serious offense of either willful sabotage or blatant incompetence.
Is Susan Rice hiding again ?
They are afraid of plame getting in the news again.
Can’t have that happen...the truth that Cheney had nothing to do with it cannot be allowed to come out.
One more person whose life has to be put in danger for the self-aggrandizement of Barack Obama.
They’re writing Carney’s script - “The President read about this in the newspaper, just like every other person in this country.” It takes a while to put that together ya know.
“This make the Plame and Skooter Libby incident look like child’s play.”
Calling Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald !
Why oh why did Bush allow there to be a special prosecutor in the ridiculous Plame case? Yes I know; the constant MSM caterwauling.
I hope the next republican or tea party president learns something from the way The One stonewalls. Just ignore the media totally. Make them wait in closets like Biden does.
He’ll just send out Dingy Harry to blame the Koch Bros. again.
