The Failed Pacifist

Pentagon Hires ABC Reporter

The Pentagon has hired ABC News White House correspondent Geoff Morrell to be the Defense Department’s on-camera briefer.

Morrell, 38, will become a familiar face of the administration on television and the Web. The official said that a working journalist was chosen by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates in an effort to improve press relations at a time when the administration is under pressure to show progress in Iraq.
