< yesterday -- tomorrow >

reporter: The administration recently leaked news of a policy against leaks. Is it true?
Bush administration official: No comment. Besides, according to our dossier on you, you already know.
reporter: A reporter can never know enough. What’s the real secrecy policy? On background.
Bush administration official: I can’t tell you.
reporter: Not even if I do an expose on your previous leaks?
Bush administration official: Um, I’ve heard that the secrecy policy is on a need-to-know basis.
reporter: Oh... and you don’t need to know.
