Romney was briefed by the British MI6 as well... and screwed up by announcing it to the world when it was intended to be a private meeting.

Note to Rochard: The MI6 don't brief Rosanne Barr. They brief people who may need to know what is going on... like serious Presidential candidates. So that IF they win, they aren't clueless on Day 1. That makes them representative of our nation during their time as a candidate... and it is why we provide Secret Service protection for them, and their family, as a national expense even though they have not 'won' anything.
