My First (but not last) Social Security Post

Okay, so Bush actually starts to describe at least some of his Social Security plan in his State of the Union Address.

Then the Washington Post runs a story which says Participants Would Lose Some Profits From Accounts
(This is a corrected version.)

Then the Drudge Report runs a "news flash" titled White House Blasts Wash Post on Social Security Claim.The flash is in the form of a press release.
(Not sure if this was written in response to the original Post story or the corrected version)


THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
(Great Falls, Montana)

Participants get 100% of Their Personal Retirement Accounts, Both Principal and Interest


But there's no name or link on this. I couldn't find it in Google News or the White House site, or anywhere but Drudge.

Have I been negligent in my search? Is this one of those early "scoops" Drudge gets handed?

Or is someone (very possibly someone in the White House) trying to defend Bush's plan without attribution or accountability.

In other words, "Bush's plan is flawless..but FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT!!
