I saw that interview with Prime Minister Iyad Allawi by Jim Lehrer. Lehrer was rude. Not direct, not probing, but simply rude.
I think Lehrer is much fairer than most interviewers.
He attempted to make Kerry's point that Iraq was not as good as Allawi was portraying it.
Allawi told him that he is frustrated with the negative reporting and doesn't understand why the positives are not reported.
I thought Allawi did a good job of putting Jim in his place.
