[Vision2020] Bush Says He Won't Be Swayed To Withdraw

[Tony]

Actually Andreas, the only legitimate way to transmit someone's words is 
through a verbatim quote.  ANY "analysis" WHATSOEVER steps over the bounds 
unless on the opinion page.  You loose credibility Andreas when you flak for 
those who would shape public opinion in the name of reporting the news.

Peace out.   -T
