"White House Stands by 'Not Accurate' Quote in Dispute Aya Kawano By Joe Strupp Published: November 09, 2005 11:30 PM ET NEW YORK Presidential Press Secretary Scott McClellan's short answer to a question at his daily press briefing last week has prompted a dispute between the White House press office and two news organizations that offer transcripts of the events. A spokeswoman for McClellan's office told E&P late Wednesday that the White House is standing by its version of what he said. At the Oct. 31 briefing, David Gregory of NBC News stated the following question to McClellan about White House aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis Libby: "Whether there's a question of legality, we know for a fact that there was involvement. We know that Karl Rove, based on what he and his lawyer have said, did have a conversation about somebody who Patrick Fitzgerald said was a covert officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. We know that Scooter Libby also had conversations." The official White House transcript states that McClellan's response was "I don’t think that's accurate." But two outside news agencies, Congressional Quarterly and Federal News Service - which provide transcripts for a fee -both reported the response as "that's accurate.""

" White House Attempts to Control News Again Asks Quarterly and Federal News to change their transcripts. WASHINGTON --The White House asked both Congressional Quarterly and Federal News Service to change their transcripts of a recent press briefing. In response to a question from NBC News' David Gregory about the leak case, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan clearly responded, "That's accurate." But according to the White House transcript, McClellan said, "I don't think that's accurate." "They asked me to take a look at it about a week ago," said FNS news director Kirk Hanneman. "We took a look at it because they did have a problem with it and in the end, we had what we originally had and we are sticking by that because we believe it is correct." CQ's editor said about the incident, "Their comment is a little bit incongruous, it doesn't jive with what we have."

I thought Bush was going to restore dignity and truth in the Oval office. They're now doctoring their own transcripts of history!
