The Associated Press and Al-Monitor kept US-Iran nuclear containment talks secret until after they had reached their conclusion this past weekend.

The AP claims they didn't run with the story because they couldn't get he White House or State Department to confirm the secret talks were occurring:

The AP was tipped to the first U.S.-Iranian meeting in March shortly after it occurred, but the White House and State Department disputed elements of the account and the AP could not confirm the meeting. The AP learned of further indications of secret diplomacy in the fall and pressed the White House and other officials further.

My Comment: If President Bush was conducting these talks .... the AP would have published this story right away .... but such is the biased state of affairs when it comes to news agencies like the AP. As to keeping these secret talks .... I first heard about it from Israeli sources last month .... and I posted a story on this last week. We now know that it was this man who was conducting these secret negotiations .... and not President Obama's special adviser Valerie Jarrett.
