Bremer Refuses to Talk to the Media

October 25, 2004 5:54 PM |

As part of his conditions for speaking tonight for the World Affairs Council, Paul Bremer has demanded that no press be present at the event and nor would he be willing to grant interviews. Bremer released the following "Media Advisory" to the press, saying that while the press were not welcome to actually cover the event, they could download digital photos of his speech later that evening. It is unknown if these excessive press restrictions are due to press coverage of disruptions at other Bremer speaking engagements or if he is exercising the type of media control he exerted whil in charge of the occupation of Iraq.
