2. Are you watching this?
He's basically calling the admin folks a bunch of liars. This is strange.

3. Does Woodward seem nervous?
He seems uncomfortable with Charlie Rose. At least to me.

4. Now it sounds like he is refuting his own book,
with Rose acting like a prosecutor, making Woodward defend his book. And Woodward is doing a crappy job of it. I don't get this at all.

6. Yeah.
Woodward is kind of stuttering over his own points.

Charlie Rose isn't exactly a hard-ass or anything.

What's Woodward worried about?

Tinfoil hat: Has he been warned by the White House or have they expressed their unhappiness with him now?

7. That's what I was thinking-
oh no, who got to him? This is the weirdest interview. I wonder how Woodward will act tomorrow night on Chris Matthews' show? Now he's saying he would have chased more stuff down, got more info. Dang. Is he talking about the soldiers now? What the hell is he talking about?

I truly do not like these people at all. (Those in this administration and all their media sychophants, along with all the congress people and our "judiciary"). God, please save us all from the evil that this country has been taken over by.

12. Thanks to all who are posting
My PBS is having it's auction funding drive and Rose is not on. I don't think they'll even air it later. Too bad they don't archive. Sounds like this is an important interview. Remember when O'Neil had his "change of tone". Deja vu!

13. Did anyone else see this show, and have thoughts?
The descriptions so far are worrisome -- I've never seen Woodward intimidated. What happened?
