The WH pool of reporters that were allowed to accompany Bush to Iraq were sworn to secrecy about their covert mission. The few reporters who were allowed to go were all given less than 24 hours notice and told not to tell anyone about their trip, including their spouses and even bosses. The WH reportedly went as far as asking a few reporters if, ” their bureaus would notice their absence for a day or two.”
Do White House pool reporters have it so easy that their bureaus wouldn’t even notice if they didn’t show up for a day or two?
The reporters were also forced to give up their cell phones and Blackberries, causing panic and anxiety during most of the flight to Iraq.
“Hey honey, I’m going to pick up some bread, I’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Even the President of Iraq didn’t know about Bush’s trip or even that he was in Iraq until five minutes before they met. Is it us, or does the Iraqi President in the picture above have a look on his face like, “what the hell is this guy talking about?”
