Just released: the official version of what happened at the Hollywood war summit.

There was some discussion about Hollywood creating public service announcements and entertaining the troops, but both sides emphasized that there was no discussion of the White House dictating the story lines of movies or TV shows.

"I will say it up front: There was no mention of content," said Valenti. "That was not the subject. Content was off the table."

Attempting to set the historical record straight, Rove added that even during World War II, Washington did not issue Hollywood marching orders."

Mr. Rove appears to be misinformed -- at least, according to this book.
