Army relents, will allow media at Palin book event

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- The U.S. Army has reversed its position and now says it will open former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's appearance on Fort Bragg to media, despite fears the event will turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama.

Fort Bragg officials said Friday in a news advisory that any interested media will be able to attend. A day earlier, a spokesman said media would be prevented from attending so the Palin book signing would not become a political platform to express opinions “directed against the commander in chief.”
