However, she wasn't an activist or a prosecutor, she was an interviewer.

For a question like that, I'd rather he'd face the jury who would ask it.

until I see that cretin in the Dock at The Hague. We prosecuted the Japanese for these very crimes that he so flippantly brushes off.
If I was a betting man I'd bet that he learned his tricks personally from Negroponte. John Negroponte, now that is a dude that is truly evil. Just thinking of him sends shivers down my spine.

Soon after Negroponte arrived in Iraq we started reading stories how so called insurgents were found that appeared to have holes drilled into their bodies, their heads. Same tricks he used in Nicaragua

Not to hijack your thread Don, but if there is a man alive today that does not deserve to be free that would be Negroponte.

even on CBS and on 60 Minutes in particular as well...

They do it because they want access to the people. If they are too harsh they won't come back. What you get is more information than if they went after every thing you could think of, because the people would never do interviews with the people who aren't slightly friendly or have the appearances of being even handed from the interviewee's perspective.

They do miss out on questions, but they also get information. They want access.

If you essentially call someone an asshole in friendly terms, they won't be back.

60 Minutes is a honeypot in a way because they are so well known, everyone wants to do an interview there to sell their book. Which, oh by the way, that's what the little douche is hawking.

And even worse is that the same parent company is doing it.

I don't about this theory, because if everyone in the media would ask the tough questions, the pols would have to go on if they wanted media access. This is in some ways the consequence of having Fox News. Because the corrupt little fucks can go there and avoid actual scrutiny, but get media attention.
