Did anyone watch Meet The Press yesterday? Russert was interviewing Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Toward the end of the interview, Russert starts asking Powell about his pre-Iraq war presentation to the United Nations and the claims he made.
At that point, it appeared that one of Powell's press aides pushed the camera away from Powell, and tried to stop the interview. You could hear Powell arguing with the aide, after which he demanded "put the camera back on me," and continued answering the question.
I have two thoughts:
- I'd love to hear the backstory on this
- Perception or not, Powell is coming out of this mess looking like really good guy, full of integrity.
