Not For Public Distribution

Brian Williams of NBC news, speaking in a sort of hushed tone, is proud to proclaim that they have a Pentagon report that was not meant for public distribution which outlines the problems we are facing in Afghanistan in training up Afghan security forces.

I griped about this sort thing when it happened under former President Bush and I will continue to gripe about it. Most informed people, meaning folks who don't get all of their news from the old media machine, are aware of the challenges facing us in Afghanistan, but the media never miss a chance to leak reports such as this in their pursuit of a Pulitzer.

Didn't Brian get the memo? Things are going to be different now that the teleprompter reading, Tiger Woods wannabe is in charge.

Brian Williams Bows to King Obama

Lifted off Drudge. A snippet off of video, but would anyone really doubt why an NBC hack is bowing to his boss, especially someone who buys food for him?

Here's the video:

Another Choreographed 'Surprise' Stop for Obama at a Burger Joint

Here we go again.

For a health food nut, President Obama sure likes his burgers.

Obama made a surprise lunchtime stop at Five Guys, a fast-food restaurant in Washington.

The president ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and mustard as well as several other cheeseburgers to go. He also ordered a cheeseburger for Brian Williams, news anchor for NBC. The network was filming a day-in-the-life program at the White House.

The president snacked on peanuts, and chatted with surprised customers while he waited for his order.

There are "more problems than we thought," Obama told a man who asked him about his first months in office.

Early this month, Obama and Vice President Biden took a short motorcade ride from the White House to Virginia and ordered lunch at a small independent restaurant called Ray's Hell Burger. First lady Michelle Obama recently said she snuck out to a Five Guys restaurant without anyone noticing.

Sure, that's believeable.

Curious how those NBC cameras are always around for these 'surprise' visits.

Cho Called NBC During VA Tech Massacre

Things are moving fast.

Rambling communication, video being examined by FBI, network says

Sometime after he killed two people in a Virginia university dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building Monday morning, Cho Seung-Hui sent NBC News a rambling communication and videos about his grievances, the network said Wednesday.

Cho, 23, a senior English major at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, killed 32 people in two attacks Monday before taking his own life.

Network officials turned the material over to the FBI and said they would not immediately disclose its contents beyond characterizing the material as “disturbing.” It included a written communication, photographs and video.

Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News,” said in a posting on the program’s “Daily Nightly” blog that the communication was received earlier Wednesday. He described it as a very long “multimedia manifesto.”
The package, timestamped in the two-hour window between Monday's shootings, was sent to NBC News head Steve Capus.It contained digital photos of the gunman holding weapons and a manifesto that "rants against rich people and warns that he wants to get even," The Associated Press quoted an unidentified New York law enforcement official familiar with the case as saying. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about it. Police said the development might be "a very new, critical component of this investigation.""We're in the process right now of attempting to analyze and evaluate its worth," said Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of Virginia State Police.

As early as 2005, police and school administrators were wrestling with what to do with Cho, who was accused of stalking two female students and was sent to a mental health facility after police obtained a temporary detention order.

I wondered Tuesday why he was still in school, let alone not facing charges.

Setting fires?

Stalking women?

And he's allowed to remain there? I guess maybe we didn't want to offend the poor guy.

Based on his writing, I figure whatever Cho sent will be a psychotic rant.

Maybe he'll blame global warming.
