Need a confirmation-Seems to me "pr_wh" in an AP URL means

that it is a PRESS RELEASE from the WHITE HOUSE.

Even though this is Saturday, I tried calling AP this morning to ask, but will have to call back on Monday to find someone who knows.

Seems logical to me, and if so, then rather than getting excited about the implications of an article being pro-Dem, worth checking WHY the White House would send out a particular piece of PROPAGANDA to the AP.

1. Great catch. The news stops for no one. Surely somebody is at the AP.nt

2. Well, the person I spoke to didn't know, and said to call back on Monday

so I will.

4. The one about Homeland Security raising an objection but it being overcome

I ask myself WHY, IF this is PR from the White House, this would come out and the conclusion I come to is that it's there to show that although EVEN Homeland Security had objections, they were fine with it after some security measures were passed.

5. Don't know, seems reasonable - I did a Yahoo site search for the

ap_on_go_pr_wh phrase and it shows up in a lot of different articles.
