The Today Show

Thank you.......... I might have missed this.

Beautiful, this helps greatly!

Sometimes when Matt or Katie engages in a rare flight of fairness, I wonder if I might be hallucinating. Your confirmation of what I thought I saw is therefore very reassuring. Thanks!

[4CJ]

Maybe a wake up call? I hope.

I do too, but I doubt it. He probably just forgot his meds.

[MEG33]

Ha! I left your name off of #113!Good interview!

[afropick]

This just proves to show when you place heavy restrictions on your foreign intelligence agents, it will be harder and harder to get on the ground real time intelligence. Look at Libya, that is a case us of our intelligence underestimating the WMD programs they have.

[P.O.E.]

I've probably watched a total of 20 minutes of the Today show - ever! Most of them just flipping by on the remote.

Amazing that 5 of those minutes just happened to be the interview with Kay.

[MEG33]

You really got lucky!

[Cosmo]

Fomenting war is , well, fomenting war, even if your real intentions are to hide in a hole when someone calls your bluff.


i'd say the Bush adminstration looks golden right now

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks MEG. You picked up some good additional statements from the interview.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Yeah, I'd already replied to this thread, but thanks for the ping anyway.

[afropick]

Unfortunately the press will slice and dice all of Kay's statement and the same thing will be replayed over and over again. I see why Pres Bush doesnt give much media access. Why do it when most of the important facts will be left on the cutting floor.

[MEG33]

I didn't want you to miss this after the naysayer's thread!...;)

[thesummerwind]

Incredibly great read. This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country!!!!

Thanks!

[MEG33]

I heard Paula Zahn call this report a blockbuster..no WMD!

[Tribune7]

This is great. The Dems are toast.

Incredibly great read. This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country!!!!

I'm sure the NY Times will cover it prominently. [sarcasm off]

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks! According to the FReepers Brokaw was being a horses patoot.

Your right on the ball with that statement, however I believe that real time humint can be culled over a period of time. Now that we have the requirement, the intel community is probably focusing on getting back into that business.

[Cosmo]

No kidding. Just look at how the "stockpile" issue was treated as if it represented the totality of the claims against Iraq. You'd think, based on the reports of saturday and sunday from the AP and NPP (and even Fox), that Kay just told the world that Sadaam was a harmless little bunny.

Again, I think the Bush administration is looking golden right now.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

For on every issue down the line, Kay forcefully made the case that the Bush administration acted in good faith, that Saddam was indeed a threat, and that war against him was absolutely justified.

Could this be the reason for his "resignation" from his post? To get on the chat circuit and bang the drum for the good guys?
