This is Frank Hemingway, LBMW.

I'm in the media camp on the Knox Exclusion Zone boundary.

Last night, the President gave full support to agencies fighting the Knox Event.

This is a distressing time.

The situation in Kentucky is unexpected and saddening.

My first thoughts are with the friends and families of those within the Zone.

People have been separated, folk have been evacuated...

I understand the difficulties facing us.

However, I have faith in the fine people of the Center for Disease Control...

... to get to the root of the panic and confusion within the Exclusion Zone.

I have faith in our Servicemen and Women to fulfill their duties...

... and for General John McGrew to command them with the foresight and dedication...

... he has shown throughout his exemplary career.

It is a distressing time America, but you are in safe hands.

Thank you.

Now back to the Exclusion Zone Boundary, where I am this morning.

In my hand? An exclusive statement from General John McGrew.

Here he apologizes for...

a 'lack of clarity'...

... in what many are calling 'The Knox Event'.

In the EXCLUSIVE statement to LBMW he again confirmed...

... that the outbreak is contained...

... and that he is unaware of fatalities within the exclusion zone.

When I asked whether the military sensitivity of the region...

... had an impact on the way the Event is being handled...

... I was met only with silence.

This is Frank Hemingway for LBMW.

Saying it, like I see it.

Keep safe Kentucky.
