This is pretty much the standard political response. It's like "Huh? Terrorists did something that we should notice? What are you talking about?" It's the philosophy "don't answer the bully's taunts and he'll get bored at the lack of attention and go away." Even the Bush administration did some of that, though Obama's administration has taken such denial to a high art form. Of course most of America knows it's being lied to. It would be better to say "no comment" than this.

Carney: Protests Not Directed Against the United States

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney just took questions at the daily briefing about the ongoing and escalating situation of riots in the Middle East and other parts of the world. As Guy reported earlier, a story by the UK Independent said the White House had intelligence that U.S. Embassies would be attacked on 9/11 and did nothing. Carney refuted the report today saying it is "false."

"We were not aware of any intelligence that an attack was imminent. That report is false," he said.
