Make sure BEFORE we report it around the world. Otherwise it looks like we are spreading propaganda. In an effort to break stories..we've had a ton of recent ones that didn't pan out.

I heartily agree, nothing against the source, but did you ever stop to think why this particular paper is the one breaking the story. I love Pittsburgh - but the last I heard the "Trib" was not a leading international publication. I also think that FOX has been the network with the most reported rumors that have proven to be false. Better to be right than first.

Good saying "Better to be right, than first". I like it.

I'm listening to the Pentagon briefing, and they say they have only heard what we have heard from embedded reporters regarding it. So, I really think we need to slow down some here.

Starts to be like the little boy who cried wolf, so to speak.

Once we know something "with certainty" then fine, report it. I'm looking forward to the day we announce the WMD too. It will happen.. but lets get the "news" out when it is the "truth" and when it is "correct". If something is "suspected" they need to be careful to say just that. State there is no proof yet.. that we need to await a verification process. To announce something as fact before it is, is irresponsible in MHO.
