- megacentrist,
It might be that she was not comfortable discussing her briefings due to secrecy considerations.

That''s a good point. Palin can''t discuss the briefings, but some guy from the Alaska Home Guard can go give interviews to reporters on it? Give me a *** break! - Reply to this comment
- This is very hard to believe. Sounds like the military are trying to help their Republican buddy. If she was getting security briefings, why would she give as her credentials being able to see Russia from her window, and attending PTA meetings at her kid''s school? It''s taken four weeks for this to come out. Sounds totally made up. Let''s see some proof.

- I am truely surprised that Palin did NOT mention these briefings when asked by Charles Gibson "What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you? " These reports to her are as a result of proxmity to Russia and give insight into how Russia conducts Foreign Affairs. The lack of Palin''''s recollection on this matter shows she has not been coached enough. It shows her limited ability to "connect the dots." Problem is during a thing like the Cuban Missile Crises, there is no time for "coaching" and you have to "connect the dots" fast before making a decision.

- Exclusive from whom? The McCain camp?
It''s ridiculous that you would devote this many words to this topic. - Reply to this comment

- Conroy, I believe you blew it on your last 3 paragraphs! She was not talking about Putin literally being in Alaskan airspace. She was talking about Russian aircraft under his LEADERSHIP. It is like when someone says "when Bush invaded Iraq". It is generally understood that Bush did not personally attack across the border.
Stoned, stupid, biased or did you just miss this one. Personally I hope it is the latter. - Reply to this comment
- Ah, gee... and she so intelligently articulates her thoughts... "On The Spot Sarah", they must have called her back home for her quick, thinking-on-her-feet responses. I bet Palin was debate team captain in college, too, huh? You know... I bet Kissinger sat in stunned silence as Sarah filled his ears with a kind of political brilliance and pure clarity he has never heard before.
