Not Authorized to Discuss Results

Quote from a news article by Daniel Wagner and Sara Lepro, AP Business Writers

"American Express Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. will not be asked to raise more capital when federal officials announce the test results Thursday afternoon, according to people briefed on the results. The people requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the results."

Huh?? Why was Anonymous talking to reporters??? Does Anonymous not understand the concept of "not authorized to discuss the results"?

I would say that Anonymous cannot be trusted to keep a his/her mouth shut and clearly needs to be banned from further meetings regarding confidential matters, and perhaps deserves to be fired. Would you trust Anonymous with confidential information in the future? I would not. I wonder if the other meeting participants are working to identify all those who leaked information to the reporters.

'The question is, when is someone like David Kelly a leaker and when is he a briefer? Hopefully there will be some guidance for us from Hutton. This issue will not go away."

A source close to the UK's Commons Intelligence and Security Committee which is probing contacts between intelligence officials and the media. Kelly was a UK government employee who was a source to a BBC reporter.
