"Allen Has Ordered 'Uninhibited Access' to Oil Spill Operations"

"Admiral Thad Allen told me he has ordered that oil spill operations be open to the media.  The National Incident Commander for the oil spill efforts said in my 'This Week' interview, 'I put out a written directive and I can provide it for the record that says the media will have uninhibited access anywhere we're doing operations, except for two things, if it's a security or safety problem.  That is my policy.  I'm the national incident commander.'"
