"... speaking on condition of anonymity"

Hey Fox!

I thought you'all were going to stop quoting folks who speak only "on condition of anonymity" ?
And what does the 2nd paragraph mean? Was that really worth printing?

I'm believing you're "Fair and Balanced" - don't backslide into the MSM methods for sensationalism!

U.S. officials were trying to determine, meanwhile, whether an Al Qaeda (search) cell's claim of responsibility for the attacks was credible. A U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity because the situation was still unfolding said analysts were sifting through recent intelligence for any evidence of follow-up attacks here or abroad.

A senior U.S. counterterrorism official, speaking on condition of anonymity said that because the attacks were well-coordinated and appeared fairly sophisticated, they were consistent with Al Qaeda's methodology.
(duh? Is this a waste of ink?)
