whoACL?

At this afternoon's press conference, President Bush quite conspicuously avoided taking any questions from UACL media representative Michael Soneff. In the last press conference before today, Soneff had been aggressive in going after the new Executive Order, and had asked questions that led to some controversial (and at times comical) answers from administration officials. Perhaps the President hopes to avoid all questions that might be critical of his most recent order. One might even venture to say that he's punishing Mr. Soneff, by showing that if the UACL doesn't want to play ball, the Administration doesn't have to deal with them. Is it appropriate for the Administration to require passive acceptance of all executive acts in order to acknowledge the UACL as a legitimate media outlet? Fortunately, after today's Press Conference Ms. Perino agreed to respond to any and all written questions submitted by the UACL. Hopefully this represents a new way forward for the Administration.
