The media roll-out of the government's new plan to fix the financial sector continues apace with a press briefing this morning by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. After about 45 minutes of explanation and questions, the briefing concluded with a request from the Treasury spokesperson for a temporary embargo on the information, which was first greeted with stunned silence and then laughter and cries of "too late!" -- reporters had been variously writing for wires, blogging, and, yes, twittering throughout the meeting. Clearly there's a trial-and-error approach for everything at Treasury. More on the plan's substance in a minute.
