< 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.
