<p><blockquote><p>"After this report aired, an official who works for you - and this is what really concerns me, I just want to know your reaction to this - sent an email, this is an employee of yours, an email internally to some of your colleagues. He did not suggest contacting the station I guess for the reason you just said, he didn't suggest putting out a press release and he didn't suggest correcting the false story in any way. Instead, this is what the email said, quote: ‘At least the ID of the shooter will take the heat off of us,' meaning Blackwater. In other words, he was saying, ‘wow, every one thinks it was the military and not Blackwater, what great news for us, what a silver lining.'"</p></blockquote><p>(h/t <a href="http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?p=813">The Gavel</a>)</p></p>
