Briefing

Synopsis

Since the war on another rogue state is going so well, United States Secretary of Defence D. Crockett Bunker, in an understandably bullish mood, openly briefs reporters in the Pentagon press room. Throughout the session, Secretary Bunker is articulate and concise, even when some of the more radical elements in the press ask obstinate questions. Although sticking firmly to his principles, Secretary Bunker remains diplomatic and courteous throughout. But supposing he had come out saying what he really meant? Rewind. Start again. The same press conference, but this time Bunker gives it the way America wants to hear it!
