I seem to remember the mediots remarking that it looked like he didn't care because he didn't react.
The documentary itself talked about how he felt he needed to finish what he was doing and didn't feel that the children needed to hear the news yet. The mediots just didn't look close enough. They were busy looking for a blatant reaction and didn't look at his eyes. His eyes are so expressive.
I must admit, I'm glad it's over. I've been praying a hedge of protection around him for days now.
I am so mad. I am just as mad as I was a year ago. I remember seeing that picture that Billie did with the Statue of Liberty collapsed sobbing in Uncle Sam's arms and not being able to relate at all. (It was a good picture, don't get me wrong.) But this one has always most demonstrated how I feel.
As soon as that reading session was finished, the reporters started peppering him with questions. He pointedly told them, "I'll answer those questions when we get out of here". He didn't want to subject the kids to the horror that was unfolding. There is tape of his first comments while still at that school, and the staff must have been told what had happened because the folks behind him are just stone faced and register no shock during his remarks.
