On Lisa Rein's Radar: Colin Powell On Meet The Press

Colin Powell On Meet The Press

This is from the May 16, 2004 program of
Meet the Press.

This is pretty unbelievable. Colin Powell's press aide attempted to put an early end to the interview by suddenly moving the camera away from Powell (right after Powell addresses the torture situation and right before Russert asks a hard-hitting question about the fake nigerian yellow cake WMD evidence he cited within his U.N. speech). Powell gets her out of the way somehow, manages to get the camera pointed in the right direction, and resumes the interview. You can hear him say "Emily, get out of the way."

Here's the clip that contains what I mention above (happens about half way through):

Colin Powell Clip - Meet The Press (12 MB)
It happens about half way through, right after Powell's admission that he and numerous top officials, including Condi Rice and Rummy, were made aware of the torture situation via a report from the Red Cross they all received way back in mid-February 2004.

Update 4:49 pm: Use one of the three mirrors below:

Here's the first mirror (of the interview parts one and two):

Too much traffic?

Perhaps you could make a torrent of the video? Share the load amongst all of us who want to see it and disseminate to all.

Cory Doctorow should have torrented these files! He should well realize by now that if he's having big bandwidth probs, people he links to will also... Thanks Boingboing!

Btw, Thx Lisa for all the Daily show clips. I now get it off suprnova, but you are the one who turned me on to it last year!

The turning away of the camera is the best reaction to an over-blown story I've seen in a long time. Kudo's to the staffer who stuck it to Russert in such a great subtle way.

Here's a mirroring tip for anyone who wants to post something like this: use freecache.org

It's a feature of archive.org. Just put "http://freecache.org/" in front of any URLs you link to, and archive.org will mirror it for you.

http://freecache.org/http://www.lisarein.com/backup/meetthepress/05-16-04-mtp-colin-1.mov

for example.

Spread the word!

On that note, try it out and help out one of the mirrors:

over blown?
(@#*&?!!)
travelgate was overblown!
gennifer flowers was overblown
paula barbieri was overblown!
blowjobs were overblown!

22,000 dead Iraqis and 900 dead and countless maimed Americans and you think it's trivial. You're what's wrong with the country.
