(CBS) The three Duke lacrosse players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.
In their first interviews, they speak to Ed Bradley this Sunday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Oh I agree. She used broom comment as an excuse to stop performing in my opinion.
The photos shows Precious on the ground and Kim kind of poking her, trying to get her up? Who would want to perform for two hours with someone in a near passed out state?
So, I agree that Kim might have used the broom comment as an excuse to stop dancing, but at least she didn't tell Bradley "I was so scared they were going to use the broom on us." LOL.
Wasn't the O'Reilly book program ridiculous? Or have you watched it yet?
They showed him saying next to nothing about his book, they showed a bunch of O'Reilly sycophants at the Nixon Library treating him like royalty or a rock star when he entered the room, and they they showed him signing books and chitchatting with those folks on and on.
I had thought I might learn something about the book and the cultural issues debate. Silly me...
It could tell us if Kim actually admits being in the house with the AV during that second time. Kim denies the conversations, but doesn't deny being there during that interval.
But you are right about the editing, IMO there are almost as many questions pop up now as we had before, that could have been resolved.
I guess there's only so much you can cram into a 20 - 30 segment without totally losing the uninformed...
I realize BOR does do some good work on some of society's messes.
I easily see why the Left might hate him...he works for Fox News and he gores a lot of their sacred cows without fear or favor (though he falls way short, because he is definitely more of an old school Democrat at heart and will go soft on some of them by choice.)
It's the part where they peg him as a major figure in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that is so silly. LOL
Kevin Troy gets the Brodhead "illiberal liberal" award for bad logic. The LAX players are going to have a tough time with many of their "unthinking liberal" peers.
He'll have to discredit his own detectives and correspondence. I'd bet he's holding "secret" emails on each of them.

If you said she was dancing, she was dancing.
I have read enough of your posts to know that.
What was funny, is that when I read your writing "black Ben Bradlee", I thought, no way...could Ben Bradless possibly be black? After all these years of my being certain he was white?
Whoahhhh!!!!
It's so early for me this a.m., I didn't even THINk of your mixing up Ed's and Ben's names. LOL
Recently I was caught like that about somebody else...Suzanne Malveaux of CNN...I learned for the first time she is black and the daughter of Julianne Malveaux. Just shows how "light black" some people can be, that I couldn't even tell it.
So I was ready to believe that Ben Bradlee could be black, or at least entertain the thought. I'm still laughing at my reaction...
Two things I liked were the excellent photos of the bruised and cut leg while dancing for the boys and the fact that the boys were just sitting there, pretty relaxed. They were hardly hyped and I'm sure they were p***** when the girls stopped after a few minutes.
I also like that the one said he has an alibi but apparently, that is being held back. Remember, the boys were all together, holding her etc.. It only takes ONE alibi.
And of course, there's the NO DNA MATCH TO ANY OF THE BOYS.
These guys are prostitutes. No downside to it for them, and they expect "payback" in the future.
Is Jakki really the "family spokesman"? Who appointed her that? That family is so disfunctional that Jakki could have no connection to anything - just a publicity-seeking cross-dressing drama queen who showed up for the cameras for all we know.
Long time no FReep!
:)
Ben Bradless = Ben Bradlee LOL
I am struck by the continued presumption of members of the HS panel and the article on WRAL.com, quoting Prof Joyner from NCCU, that somehow the accuser's statement that a rape occurred should be taken at face value. This should only ever hold if there is physical evidence that a crime actually was committed. Over recent months I am sure we have dicsussed the incidence of false rape accusations, but I decided to check it out again and came up with the following link:
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1719
It seems from the data that false accusations or more specifically falsely identified rapists occur between 25% and 40% per cent of the time. These numbers are somewhat surprising and they do need to be interpreted carefully.
This data clearly suggest that Nifong's rush to judgment cannot be based on the assertion that such false accusations rarely occur. The author of the above commentary clearly indicates that the oft quoted "less than 2% false accusations" has no empirical basis.
I have 3 sons
Would I want a Reade, Colin or Dave or a Kevin Troy?
DUH! No contest. I will take a normal son with the problems associated (wait, I took 3, LOL!).
God knows if I wanted a touchy, feely kid, I would have asked God for girls.
Kevin Troy just sounded to me as someone with a relatively low IQ and lacking in compassion at least for these athletes. Wonder how he even got into Duke.
Tryton knows the clubs, LOL!
Learned that way back!
