Press Gaggle 02/28/06
— Tuesday, February 28, 2006 — Q Speaking of changes in the schedule, it seems like Friday night -- there's a departure Friday night -- MR. McCLELLAN: Even if we were, we wouldn't be telling you until it was the appropriate time. Q Well, it's in the trip book. Can you say what we're doing Friday night? MR. HADLEY: I will say this to you: If we make a change to the schedule, you'll be the first to know. Q I don't think so. Q Wait a minute, I want to know, too. MR. McCLELLAN: All right, we're landing.

Posted by WhiteHousePressCorps.org @ 11:43 PM  Press Briefing 02/27/06 — Monday, February 27, 2006 — Q Scott, are you saying if this port deal goes south we are going to lose the United Arab Emirates as an ally in the war against terrorism? And if so, so what? We've got aircraft carriers in other nations, Saudi Arabia -- is it that important to us? MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I don't know why you could say "so what." I mean, partnerships are critical in the war on terrorism, and certainly partnerships from Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates are important in the broader war on terrorism and meeting our important foreign policy objectives.

Posted by WhiteHousePressCorps.org @ 11:08 PM Press Briefing 02/23/06 — Thursday, February 23, 2006 — Q On page 40, it says violent crime was less prevalent than originally reported. In New Orleans we had heard there were murders in the Superdome; we had heard of rapes and things of that nature. Is that, indeed, the case in what you're finding through this report? MS. TOWNSEND: What we found was -- let me tell you what the lesson learned was, because I think it's the best way to explain what we found. What the lesson learned was we need to do a better job of understanding that there's a 24/7 news cycle, that we need to have people deploy in the public communications arena with our responders, with our joint field office, with people like General Honore and Admiral Allen, to make sure they are there so we can get -- we can respond to media inquiries and we can get accurate information to you as you're reporting. What happened is we didn't have that capability. And so people were reporting things that were being heard either out of the Superdome or out of the Convention Center. I do not want to misrepresent -- it was a very difficult situation there. But many of the reports even from government officials turned out to be inaccurate, that many of the reports of -- specific reports that came out during the crisis we couldn't corroborate, we couldn't find out, we couldn't corroborate that they had actually happened.

Posted by WhiteHousePressCorps.org @ 11:41 PM Press Briefing 02/22/06 — Wednesday, February 22, 2006 — Q But Democrats are very familiar with national security, saying this sends a very, very bad signal, as far as heightening the anti-American sentiment in the Arab and the Muslim world. Do you agree with that statement? MR. McCLELLAN: I'm not sure who you're referring to and what they said. Q I just told you what they said. MR. McCLELLAN: Who is it? Q I don't want to tell you who it is, I cannot do that. But this person -- believe me, is very familiar with these issues -- and they said, this sends a very bad sentiment right now at this time when you have the Muslim world dealing with the issue of the cartoon of Allah, which is blasphemous to them, and this is sending -- there's this heightened anti-American -- MR. McCLELLAN: Well, as the President said yesterday, what it does is send a terrible signal to a good ally in the war on terrorism, and to others who are allies in the war on terrorism.

HUBBARD: Well, the -- it's hard for me to remember what's out there, and what's not out. (Laughter.) Q That's okay. Don't worry about that. (Laughter.) White House Press Corps | Press Briefing
