White House refuses to release full terror report
The opening text follows below:
The White House refused Wednesday to release in full a previously secret intelligence assessment that depicts a growing terrorist threat and has fueled the election-season fight over the Iraq war.Press secretary Tony Snow said releasing the full report, portions of which President Bush declassified on Tuesday, would jeopardize the lives of agents who gathered the information.
"We don't want to put people's lives at risk," Snow told a White House news briefing.
How about we try on some alternative headlines CNN could have run?
White House refuses to endanger intelligence operatives
White House refuses to expose U.S. intelligence methods to the media
Bush Administration insists on keeping CIA agents alive
Snow: '"We don't want to put people's lives at risk'
I guess it's simply a matter of perspective and goals.
