JERUSALEM (AP) -- A producer for Dan Rather says the American journalist's crew was harassed and humiliated by Israeli security officials.

Andrew Glazer, an Emmy-award winning producer at Dan Rather Reports, says crew members were forced to drop their pants for a strip search before seeing an Israeli Cabinet minister.

"!?מהי התדירות, קנת" It may be that you're the first person in history to write the phrase "What's the frequency, Kenneth" in Hebrew. (PS: I used google translate.)

They probably weren’t forced to do the interview. They probably had the option to refuse the so called strip search and go home to their mommies.

You read my mind. Profiling really does work.

What the heck is "Dan Rather Reports?"

I find it amusing that the anti-semite, pro pali, a-hole journalists go to Israel and expect their betters to treat them with a respect they would never give.

Personally I think the Israelis should dump his ass on the pali side of the nearest checkpoint and tell him to try his luck with the savages.

[Little Ray]

Good for “Israeli security officials.”

[paulycy]

Well, I tried real hard!

Guess Mayor Daley's guys found a new gig in Israel.

The very amusing story of the day. Maybe that’s why Obummer won’t go there...

Do you think the phrase “Don’t you know who I am?” was used...:^)

[Oldexpat]

He probably had a few Arab’s in his crew. Otherwise a few maggot infested ex-hippies from the UK. All suspect.

[Teflonic]

Suddenly the whole purpose of his trip has been refocused to finding out whether Gov. Palin had to be strip searched as well...

[Bitsy]

Rather, there is one thing Israel knows and that’s there enemy. Don’t take it personal.

Gee, Dan, maybe if you hadn’t presented Israeli customs a fake U.S. Passport drawn up with the default settings in Microsoft Word...
