Might want to tighten up the posting procedure a bit...

If I were to accidentally post some off-the-record work related stuff on the blog, I'd probably be pretty embarrassed. But if I worked for the AP, and accidentally posted it over the internet (e.g., on Yahoo! News), that would probably suck worse. To wit,

OK, can you do some more probing? New York will want to know
frank's out today.

i checked already, and so did zurich. they say the question is irrelevant. he answered me with the quote i used, about we knew when he was coming this time. he's been here many times in the past, we think.

thx brad. aptn is aware, but unfortunately won't make it in time, but is hoping to catch tail end.
i'm pushing out another writethru with some more background details before press conference.
no surprise, new york is really hot on this.

they particularly want to know why now. (has he never set foot in switzerland before?) sheila, theorizes that's because they're under intense pressure over ubs and want to throw the U.S. a bone, but can yo ucheck with justice department sources there?

is frank around too, or are you alone?

u can tell aptn press conf 1700 (15 gmt) in bern at the parliament
i'll watch it live on internet


Just guessing, but this probably isn't the story as it was supposed to be published.
