Honest voices
This is a hilarious 28 seconds of video. Andrea Mitchell asks the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, if he knew about his country spying on the U.S.-- and he claims he can't hear the question.It's comic gold. First, Alan Greenspan's wife opens up the MSNBC live line to a thought-provoking interrogation thread on this all-important issue. Her exact words: "I just have to ask you very briefly, in just ten seconds. Were you aware of any eavesdropping on John Kerry by Israeli Intelligence?"
Seconds later: "Can you still hear us... in Tel Aviv?" Oren responds, "I'm in Tel Avi... (trailing) I can't hear you."
Well, he heard the Tel Aviv part. All but the most important five seconds he picked up just fine.
I'm really sorry to have missed the rest of this historic interview. The tragedy is that Mitchell didn't have more time to apologize to Oren for asking such a tough question.

There should be a news outlet that focuses exclusively on Friday burial pieces-- negative stories that the government releases on Friday afternoon so that they might die a quick and quiet death in the media. In last week's action, our President finally admitted that we torture people. The stupid way he combined this admission with his favorite folksy colloquialism: "We tortured some folks."
