I just hope and pray that her family never sees this.

The spin on this story was unbelievable. First you have Shoshana Johnson saying it gave her a sense of relief that at least they were doing their best to treat her. Then the reporter, at the end of the tape, saying that it was not aired by Iraqi television because it didn't present her captors in a very good light. And then ultimately it IS aired here.

Not to disrespect Shoshana Johnson, but her take on this clip is the exact opposite of what most of us take away from viewing it.

If NBC would show this (and it was on both 'Nightly News' and MSNBC) they also would not be above editing what they showed to Shoshona to remove the most offensive parts.

I confess to having a strong desire to make Tom Brokaw look like that. However, unlike Brokaw, I'm a human being.
