Maybe the details will appear on Wikileaks.

You’re almost as likely to see the details of the next Harry Potter novel on Wikileaks before it reaches street date than THIS information before election day.

The media embargos “certain” things but spills the beans on matters of national intelligence.

You can search Youtube for the clip of Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings saying that they would keep mum if they learned of an impending attack against US soldiers. A journalist “must remain neutral” after all.

Interesting. I have thought that the coverage in the WSJ was suddenly turning very pro-government and pro-Obama. I guess this explains why.
