Or, it is being precise with the fact that each member of the committee is briefed not as a group, but generally as individuals, and not by the same person, thus there will be differences in actual delivery of that content. If Mr. Daschle had stated that the information that he recieved was not as full or was in varience to the information that others had recieved, I’d not have a problem. But what mr Daschle stated was that he recieved **No** information: > [@](#): > > “The only people that had this information are those in the White House,” Mr. Daschle said. “It’s critical everybody understands that.” And that is as I said, contridicted by Mr. Kyl.
