It was a briefing on behalf of the Whhite House. The White House gave permission to release it. They broke no ethics code. Clarke and Kerrey apparently think that those briefings are their personal property. They are wrong.

You are totally correct, IMO.

I will drop this subject, but I have to disagree here.
If anybody can name me one example ever of a network releasing a background interview like this, I would like to hear about it.
What you are saying now is that if Stephanopholous gave a background interview on behalf of Clinton, then bashed Clinton, Clinton has the authorization to order it released?
It's ethically wrong IMHO.

Shep Smith just said they will speak with Jim Angle shortly about the charge of unethical.
I need to leave for a bit. Please somebody watch Fox to see if this comes up and let us know what they say.
