I Thought the President's Address was Later Tonight

The article says, “Filed 17 minutes ago," and begins this way.

"President Bush (news - web sites) sought to reassure Americans Monday night that he had a plan to pull Iraq (news - web sites) out of the violence and chaos that have marked the year since he declared an end to major combat."

Isnt’t the word “sought” past tense?  The news, before it’s news.  Isn’t that called prognostication? Be the first on your block to report the news, before it happens.

An AP story via Yahoo News.

Update - Time:  7:55 P.M. EST: Does anyone know how to get a link to a cached page?  The link to the story I mention, above, written by Scott Laidlaw, for AP, is still written by Scott Laidlaw, filed 34 minutes ago, but has been edited to present tense.
