that it was a setup for an assassination attempt? One of the first things they'd want to do is to seperate Bush from his own security detail. If, and admittedly that's a big if, that's what was happening, it isn't hard to understand why Bush might not want to talk about a lapse in security. The simple fact that he was separated from his Secret Service detail was a lapse in security, regardless of whether it was a simple pissing contest between security details or something worse.`

Just because some reporter asks a question, it doesn't automatically follow that they're entitled to an answer, especially in security matters. Remember the first Gulf War when moron reporters kept asking, "When does the ground war start, General?" Hell, even Saturday Night Live made fun of those stupid reporters.
