yes, but listen to FNC - denials are coming from DoD, State, etc.
it simply looks bad to have the media running with all these reports, while our agencies "deny" everything. instead, issue a media statement that says "we are working on it", don't deny it.
Why should the DoD cater to news outlets? The DoD doesn't have to tell us anything. The people who need to know what is occuring *know* and that is what is important, imo.
The US is not DENYING IT..They are just not confirming it yet. There is a distinction.
I haven't heard them deny...only that they cannot yet confirm.
And another thing...FReepers with *clearances* ought to keep more to themselves.
