O’Reilly did a good job. Probably the only guy on FOX who gave Rumsfeld a tough interview. And he got some interesting stuff out of him, like where he says he had a whole list, before the war, of things that could go wrong, but that the American people didn’t deserve to know what those things were.
That's a bold and mean lie. Rummy would never say the American people don't deserve to know anything. The clue to the sensible listener is that Rummy had a list of "coulds", not "woulds". Executive decision making, any decision making, is full of could-bes. It's proper not to fill the hyper-reactive news channels with "what-ifs".
Truth is folks can AND SHOULD figure out many what-ifs for themselves. Without waiting for "experts" to tell them.
Do you know what is going on in Afghanistan? The public is not getting the details on that war either but is O’Reilly yelling at anyone over that?
It was a Chris Matthews syle iterview with yelling and not giving the Rumsfeld a chance to answer - even told him he didn’t have time to let him aanswer but then proceeded to ask him more questions. Rumsfeld had to ask him please let him answer the questions.
Its ok to ask hard questions but no need to be totally rude and obnoxious.
