Four little reporters listened to conference call with the Director of the Missile Defense Agency …
- The first little reporter, Ann Roosevelt of Defense Daily, went “MDA Director ‘Disappointed’ In Recent Test Problems.” (subscription only, I am afraid)
- The second little reporter, Bradley Graham of the The Washington Post, went that “Missile Defense Director Moves To End Test Glitches.”
- The third little reporter, Thomas Duffy of Inside Defense, went “MDA Sets Up Outside Review Board to Examine Recent Test Failures.”
- The fouth little reporter, Bill Gertz of the Washington Times, went wee wee wee “Pentagon Sees Missile-Defense Progress.”
“It’s almost like the Washington Times was at a different briefing,” notes CDI’s Victoria Samson. Or like someone was getting high on the job, I say.
Even better, Victoria observes, check out the Early Bird. The Washington Times story is story No. 6, under Top Stories, while the Washington Post is No. 22, under Missile Defense. Defense Daily and Inside Defense didn’t make the cut.
Speaking of Rashomon: Victoria mentioned the story to both Shachtman and me. For his take, where he actually bothers to blog about the content, see DefenseTech.Org.
