Rep. Slaughter (D) of New York calls on the president to explain why a phony ‘reporter’ from ‘Talon News’ got accredited at the White House for the apparent purpose of teeing up softball questions for McClellan and the president.
Meanwhile, an eagle-eyed poster at Dailykos asks why this fellow also seems to have been leaked a CIA memo about Valerie Plame.
She references this passage from a December 26th, 23 piece in the Washington Post: “On Oct. 28, Talon News, a news company tied to a group called GOP USA,posted on the Internet an interview with Wilson in which the Talon News questioner asks: ‘An internal government memo prepared by U.S. intelligence personnel details a meeting in early 2002 where your wife, a member of the agency for clandestine service working on Iraqi weapons issues, suggested that you could be sent to investigate the reports. Do you dispute that?'”
