"You should be sitting beside us at the table."
From President George Bush to New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller:
The president said quite forcefully that this program was something he regarded as part of the crown jewels of our national security, and that if we exposed it, we would be at least in part responsible, or [should] feel ourselves responsible, if there was another attack on the U.S. I think what he said was, "When we were called up to explain to Congress why there was another attack, you should be sitting beside us at the table."
(The emphasis is mine.)
From the excellent PBS Frontline documentary series Newswar.
