My God Russert, what is your problem? You let the NIE Director Mr. McConnell bob and weave, refuse to answer your questions, and then you let him bleat out blatant lies, completely unchallenged. Where is your spine dear Mr. Russert, where? The most pathetic lie was the whopper he told about holding "everyone" responsible for Abu Gharib accountable. I almost blew coffee out my nose. After covering for Rumsfeld, McConnell claims Al Queda is making a comeback only because of a truce with Pakistan's leader. What? Mr. McConnell forgets to mention the fact that their comeback may have something to do with the tens of thousands of innocent muslims buried in Iraq because of our occupation of "an arab" country. For years it appears that there has been a waiting list for those wanting to join the extremists, and that is not Musharraf's fault. What was it John Dean said in 2004? Something along the lines of "Bush and Cheney have to be Osama's dream team for November. They have all but promised even more extreme responses in the future, which surely must please Osama"?

After letting the Admiral spew his steroid enhanced turbocharged spin, and ducking practically every single one of your questions, you then give Russ Feingold a couple minutes to appear to be "balanced" on the show. After that short interview with a Democrat, who has been right all along by the way, you proceed to have two Bush watercarriers defend the disaster in Iraq. I loved hearing Brooks, and Hayes idolizing Dick Cheney, with only Bob Woodward to attempt to define any sort of "reality" for your viewers. Even Woodward's motivations are questionable after holding back the identity of the White House "leakers", along with others, until after the 2004 election, so Bush could be reappointed. In the old days the information Woodward sat on would have been called a "scoop", of which all reporters dream of at night. In today's "newsspeak" world, only scoops, and information that help "Ociana" see the light of day.  If you don't believe me, watch a White House press conference.

Perhaps you could have asked Stephen Hayes, author of "Cheney" if he had actually counted the number of lies that came out of Mr. Cheney's mouth in the run up to the war, or if writing a book about a pathological liar was fun. Sorry Mr. Russert, for a minute I thought I was watching the FOX Propaganda Channel by mistake.
