In yesterday’s first briefing, press secretary Robert Gibbs accidentally released the name of one of the Obama officials providing “background” information on the closing of Guantanamo. The Washington Times:

“Why did the administration believe it was important for the American people not to know the name of the two senior administration officials who briefed us this morning on Guantanamo?” one reporter asked in the packed and steaming hot briefing room just off the White House West Wing.
“I hope that you all found the exercise that we did this morning helpful,” Mr. Gibbs offered helpfully.
“Do you know,” the reporter followed, “that you’ve used … one of those senior officials’ first names several times in this briefing?” A very long pause ensued.
“I do,” the spokesman said, his cornflower-colored tie suddenly looking a bit too tight. “Are we allowed to repeat that name?” Mr. Gibbs answered by citing as precedent of Brazilian soccer stars being known only by a single name–sure to one day be a classic White House non-answer.

It doesn’t seem that Barack, as he may well be known under the Brazilian-soccer-star precedent, was that angry about the gaffe: He later and told reporters that he rewarded Gibbs with a coveted “fist bump.”
