But yesterday CNN said the SPR was damaged . . .

From yesterday's Situation Room:

VELSHI: Wolf, you heard the president speaking earlier today. One of the things he said when he was talking about energy is they are once again, the government is once again prepared to release oil to oil companies from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in case some of that oil coming from the Gulf of Mexico is still offline.

Well, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as you know, is four sites. I've got a map of that, four sites in Texas and Louisiana. Two of them are in Texas, two of them are in Louisiana.

Over on the right, Bayou Choctaw, that was the only one that stayed open. The others three closed for Hurricane Rita. There are 72 million barrels of oil there. Of the remaining three, Bryan Mound is reopened and is fine. The other two, West Hackberry and Big Hill. Big hill we were actually at and have pictures of that for you. Roads -- access roads to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve are flooded. We have almost 400 barrels of oil between the two of those. Big Hill, in fact, has had damage.

So we are looking at even the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in this country having suffered damage as a result of Hurricane Rita. Just one more problem to contend with in terms of the flow of oil and energy supplies, Wolf.

Yet today, CNN Money tells us Bush is ready to tap the reserve.

How can both be true?
