- I believe this gentleman is the real deal. I don't think I'd want to get called into his office.

- What would life in the USA be like if teaparty reactionaries win white house, senate and house? (Already controls federal judgeships.)
It would be like cloning Crumpton endlessly.
What would that cloning be like?

- Chill, comrades! I have only one problem with this piece: it is too short. Both conservatives, and especially liberals need to learn more about the CIA, and why our freedom cannot be taken for granted, it needs to be curbed and sacrificed for the sake of its surviving.
If you are not happy with how the CIA operates, imagine how much the Chinese and Yemenies are pissed off. - Reply to this comment
- Please, I would like you unsubscribed me from this site 60'minutes and from comments. I tried to do it but I couldn't find any place which mention of how to do "unsubscribe." I don't want to be associated in any manner whatsoever with 60 Minutes. Please do it! Ciao!

- This was an extremely poor piece of journalism. As part of a book tour, "Hank" told the nation that the government had moved to using an army that was constituted much like the Taliban -- no uniforms, insurgents, etc. -- without any consultation with or vote of Congress. Logan interviewed no one else who could have enlarged on the ramifications of this action, not to mention the legality. Not CBS' finest hour when it fails to see an earthquake in the American Constitution and report on it.

- He doesn't sound like a spy. If he really meant what he said, he would have killed Bin Laden when he had a chance. I think he's kinda creepy. If he was a spy, I'm glad he's retired.

- After years of backing Liberal causes, it appears that CBS has finally had a come to Jesus moment. With Barry's pole numbers gone negative, they've decided to switch sides. In fact more of the LSM has seen the light lately. By November even the African American Community will turn against The One.

- It might be about selling a book but it is also an election year and from the interview there seems to be a pro-Republican agenda, "Bush asked good questions" "Bush threw his arm over h my shoulders". It seems manicured to counteract the fact that Bin Laden met justice during a Democrat administration.
In actuality it should not matter when, we were looking for Bin Laden to make him pay his murderous action and to stop him, it was a national priority. There is also a detrimental comment against the Clinton administration and that is highly suspicious. Sept 11th had not occurred yet and the urgency to get Bin Laden was not that clear, most of us probably did not know Bin Laden's name at the time. We do not know either what circumstances were at play on that particular day but the behavior of the most radical elements of the Republican party during the Clinton administration was borderline sedition.
The CIA's work is a dangerous work. I do not believe they are idiots as someone said in this forum before. It is not that the CIA can be explaining itself in the news. - Reply to this comment
- What ... was that? You interviewed, literally, two people for this story. "Hank" sounds justifiably like Jack Bauer, though the other guy was clearly a wann-be. I'm surprised at this right-wing puff-piece by 60 Minutes, but then, when we find the second story has to do with Muslims funding American charter schools in a very productive and and good way, maybe 60 Minutes was just trying to buffer the anger the right-wing would surely (and as usual, wrongly) spit at them. Pretty weak story.

- I would have been nice to hear more about his anticipated impact of the book rather than to watch her flirt and play cutesie with him. Jees.
