In addition to being the 4th or 5th time this has been posted in the last 24 hours, on the Defense Department briefing this morning Rumsfeld and Myers were ask about this report and said they knew nothing about it and in checking were unable to confirm. Or, something to that effect.
Myers were ask about this report and said they knew nothing about it and in checking were unable to confirm.
My recollection is that Myers just gave a curt "that report can not be confirmed", and when asked the same question again in differents words, gave the same curt answer, eyes darting slightly nervously.
In other words, I think he gave the moral equivalent of "no comment."
Then Rummy stepped in with an aggressive selection of a different question, from a different reporter.
