TPM Reader TC tries the White House …

So, on the advice of Senator Voinovich’s office I phoned the White House comment line.

I commented that on the advice of my state Senator I was phoning to request that the April National Intelligence Estimate be released to the public.

The operator: “You mean the one leaked to the Post and New York Times this weekend?”

I commented that I had learned of the reports existence over the weekend and I thought that voters have the right to the information before fall elections.

The operator: “They do have the information.”

Me: “No, it’s not a public report yet.”

The (now frustrated) operator: “They have the information because the Times and Post reported it. Once those papers get a hold of it they just do whatever they want with it.”
