That a training is done at an event for which security training is being done, sounds - well, I simply have a problem to simply swallow it. Usually such training is done before the event for which you train arrives, eh?

I'm one hour outside Washington. It is raining like hell here. Conducting exercises of all day on the Potomac so close to the Pentagon in 30 kt winds with whipping rain is not happening. Specifically on 9/11. Exercise my arse.

"Before we report things like this, checking would be good," Gibbs said. Responding directly to a CNN reporter's question about whether the public should have been notified about a training exercise, Gibbs was harshly sarcastic: "If anybody was unnecessarily alarmed based on erroneous reporting that denoted that shots had been fired, I think everybody is apologetic about that."
