Noted items to add to the timeline: Prisoner abuse picture was taken on Dec. 12. Moore says it was in Basra. A poster on this thread says that NO American troops were in Basra. Also, Moore says that some footage came from embedded media. We need to find out who.
Thanks for the ping. I thought the program was on at 10pm, so when I turned it on, it was already over. Oh well at least the Dodgers won ;-D
Ol' fatso was really slipping and sliding, according to the transcript. I really have to give Matt Lauer props for not fauning all over him. Lauer was very professional, and wouldn't let Leni Moore wiggle out of inconsistent statements.
Moore has his sticky fingers all over the prison abuse scandal. Maybe someone knows who the imbedded media members were/are. If no American troops were in Basra, then who was abusing the prisoners? This is getting pretty weird. Was Nick Berg in Basra around Dec 12th? I'm saying around that date, because Moore will muddy the waters to cover his ass. Lol, you'd need the Mississippi to cover that rear end.
You don't need to be a freelance journalist to shoot a good pic.
Lauer: "So you had your hands on this before the images from Abu Ghraib were made public."
Moore: "That's correct."
Lauer: "There's a decision to make there, on your part."
Moore: "I know. It was a really tough decision. And we're putting the film together and we're trying to decide what should we do here?"
Lauer: "But a critic would say, hey, send it to the right person a couple of months before these other photos go out and maybe –"
Anyone remember what happened on Dec 13, 2003?
That'll be pretty easy for the military to identify based on the unit. Expect to see an embed injail.
