Bush Q&A with US soldiers this morning was staged?

There's no excuse for faking a Q&A session. The participants were carefully chose and scripted to stay on message.

FOX News says:
"But some critics said the video conference was staged, referring to an on-camera shot of a Pentagon official shown coaching the soldiers.

"The soldiers were advised as to the issues they should expect to discuss, and decided among themselves who would speak to each issue as it may arise," Di Rita maintained.

The event posed technological challenges, which required preparations such as advisements to soldiers on which subjects they could expect to be asked about, Di Rita said.

Some senior Pentagon officials told FOX News that they are angry that soldiers were coached at all before the video conference went live.

This is the same administration that lied about who ordered the "Mission Accomplished" banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Lying to the American people is SOP for that bunch.
