Revelations

Maru carries an uncredited transcript of a Powell interview that ends:

MR. RUSSERT: AND THAT WAS AN UNEDITED INTERVIEW WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE, TAPED EARLIER THIS MORNING FROM JORDAN.

WE APPRECIATE SECRETARY POWELL'S WILLINGNESS TO OVERRULE HIS PRESS AIDES' ATTEMPT TO ABRUPTLY CUT OFF OUR DISCUSSION AS I BEGAN TO ASK MY FINAL QUESTION.


Read Maru's post for the whole uncut scene. Powell doesn't actually admit any lying on his own part, but it's an interesting look at how skitterish everybody's getting about who says what on camera.

...or hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
