Then we make very careful decisions and talk about it with dozens of people [including their editors and top government officials] before the actual story runs.

When federal authorities refused to admit early on that three pyrotechnic rounds had been fired at the Mount Carmel compound, it tainted their credibility.] We want them to learn from this experience the importance of candor, even about very small things, ...
