Gibbs: WH Told Me Not To Acknowledge Drone Program Exists

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on MSNBC

“One of the first things they told me was, you’re not even to acknowledge the drone program, you are not even to discuss that it exists, I would get a question like that…once I figured out it was about the drone program, I realized I’m not supposed to talk about it.”

“Here’s what’s inherently crazy about that proposition: you’re being asked a question based on reporting of a program that exists, so you’re the official government spokesperson acting as if, the entire program — ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,’” 24 Feb 2013 post a comment
