| via Andrew Sullivan Colin takes on a obnoxious reporter - teaching the State Dept staff what a representative of America should give back? I thought he'd lost it...looks like I was wrong Frank |

| #4 TGA - He was asked this " I hear what you are saying. What many people in Europe will hear, through your words, is this is how the new partition of labor will be: America is looking for its Allies, is going its course with or without Allies, any number that’s available, and be it zero. And then the U.N.’s role is to go in as a good Samaritan and clean up the mess. That’s all they can do. America is already looking at its next destination. " I'd say that was a speech, not a question, which he weaselly put as "it looks to others like". He certainly has the right to ask it, and Powell has the right to call it absurd, and to reply forcefully as he did. |

| #2 Why obnoxious? Isn't this a reporter's job to ask questions? Hard questions as well? You don't prefer it the Iraqi State TV way, right? And what was so obnoxious about these questions? The lack of adulation? Not being from Fox or CNN? |
