Greetings. A publicity-related teleconference between President Bush
and U.S. troops in Iraq this morning was billed as a "spontaneous"
exchange. Unfortunately for the White House, an open satellite feed of
the pre-teleconference discussions clearly showed the troops being
coached by a Dept. of Defense official, who "drilled" them on questions
and answers in advance.
Call it "coached" or call it "scripted" -- either way it was anything
but spontaneous. Here's a brief <a

Media)</i>, which also includes a related question from the White House
press after the event.
