> The interviewer was leading him with a tricky question? You've got to be kidding me. When Galloway has repeatedly boasted of how he has been condemning Saddam since the 80's, I think it's fair to point out that in the 90's Galloway went to Saddam to share 'heartfelt fraternal greetings and support'.

yes, and i'd agree that was fair to point out.
which is why you'll notice my objection was to "the interviewer's actual question".

it's phrased as a slippery slope that associates galloway's having once praised saddam, with thinking that iraq was better off under saddam than not.

another great example of this kind of thing is Madeleine Albright. 3rd paragraph in, there, "In 1996 she was also criticized for..." footage here, with lesley stahl.

she still takes an enormous amount of flak for her poor answer, to this day. look no further than the description at that last youtube clip. "Albright makes statement that ultimately led to 9/11." oy. by what quantum leap of deduction?!? see? again, slippery.

so, yeah.
first off, the interviewer shouldn't have relied on easily-dismissed 3rd-party allegations that galloway once praised saddam. why not instead, simply run the footage you should already have, supporting that fact?
then, just turn & ask galloway a fair, open-ended question: "what's your reaction?"
does he regret saying it? had there been a recent event that sparked your praise for his courage? what had saddam done to warrant this flattery?

instead, they present him with an opportunity to lie and backpedal, which he promptly does.

watch that powell clip again, where he catches a slippery question and responds intelligently, and let me know if my original point makes sense now.

"60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl reminisces about colleague Ed Bradley, who died Thursday of complications from leukemia. She says he had style, originality and heart, and was a role model.
