agree although extremely heart knew man moment reported shot suffered yesterday
McClellan yesterday knew that the man who was shot had suffered a heart attack. He should have reported that, he should have told that to the reporters, and they to the American people. That was an extremely important moment in this whole story. Up to that point, you can say well, it wasn't all that important, although I don't agree with that, but after that moment, it was indisputably an important thing.
