#1 The U.S. officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the issue publicly and because, one official said, the White House is incensed by leaks on its Afghanistan policy that didn't originate in the White House .

- This leak sprung within five minutes of the end of the meeting.
- Interesting that the White House is only upset by leaks that don't originate in the White House.
