Reply #8: I saw that on TV [View All]

and was shocked that he actually said the President deliberately distorted the uranium charge. Thielman came across as very calm and measured--I didn't think he seemed angry, just disgusted, if anything, and very aware of the seriousness of what he was stating and being careful about his words.

Sawyer's reactions were typical for her. She always feigns a sort of gushing shock when anything serious comes up in her interviews. I think that's her way of trying to appear neutral; but really, the woman is much more confortable with fluff reporting than this caliber of story--she just doesn't know what to do with stuff like this. I guess I don't fault her for asking where he stood on the war. He did *not* flat out say he did not support the war; what he said was, he supported the threat of military intervention as a wedge to allow the weapons inspectors time to do their jobs--the most reasonable possible answer, really.

I'm impressed, but of course I wonder if this will go anywhere. There has to be a public investigation and Thielman has to be called as a witness.
