Talk:Setting the Record Straight: Bob Woodward

"Brent Scowcroft Says He Did Not Speak To Bob Woodward And Never Discusses His Personal Conversations With President George H.W. Bush. SCOWCROFT: "I have spoken to Bob Woodward a number of times about a variety of subjects over the years, but I did not agree to be interviewed for his latest book. Further, there are statements in the book, directly or implicitly attributed to me, that did not and never could have come from me. I never discuss any personal conversations that I may have with President H.W. Bush, and he never discusses with me any conversations that he has with President George W. Bush." (Brent Scowcroft, Statement, 10/2/06)"

The first sentence is false; Scowcroft said that he did not "agree" to be interviewed "for his latest book." This is not a denial that he spoke to Woodward. Indeed, the qualifiers strongly suggest that he did.
