Yahoo! News - Bush Marking 'Sad' Sept. 11 Anniversary : "In the afternoon, the president, still accompanied by the first lady, was to travel a few miles to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a private session with soldiers being treated there for wounds suffered in Iraq. "

So "private" that they only allowed an AP photographer, eh? Just another photo-op. You can bet that when Dick Cheney had "private" meetings with energy execs there were no press photographers present.

I was actually kind of impressed when I originally heard that this was going to be a private visit with the wounded, thinking that perhaps Bush wasn't going to turn it into a political event for a change.

And what's up with saying it was going to be private in the first place? Why does the White House seem to feel the need to lie about everything, big or small?
