"That was a judgement call, based on part that there were rumors that actual news would come out of the White House."

I love Fox News, but they seem at times to have very poor judgement in the breaking news area. Anybody with half a brain would know that this White House does not report on military operations like this. They always wait until the Pentagon or Centcom gives the initial verification and reports it. This White House isn't into patting itself on the back like the Clinton's were. Fox should know this.

True; very true. They could have given a 6-second delay to the briefing just in case this was the exception that proves the rule and nobody would have been the wiser.
