Ahem...(coughs politely).
Me thinks you missed the point Michael.
I think it wonderful and all that and I did notice the OT. Trouble was, I
was looking for the OL.
As for keeping up to date, I often find the ABC are, shall we say, somewhat
myopic (and this certainly includes 4 Corners) but that's just my view and
as it has little bearing on anything even remotely list related, I'll just
leave it at that and take it OL.
My mother taught me about politics and religion.
Enjoy your re-hashed re-hash though Michael. :)
Cheers.

For your benefit, Bruce (and for that of anyone that you
have just put off watching tonight's repeat of that
interview.)
A. My post was labelled (O.T.) for a reason.
B. Okay. Forget my editorializing / promotional words.
(I came from Advertising and, though most of you would
never notice it, I sometimes get a little carried away.)
I was just enthusiastic about how a man who has done what
he has done in life (with and for whom) could come forward
and spill the beans in such a frank, erudite and open
manner on such important and topical subjects.
Usually we don't hear about this stuff in such detail
until 50 years and several FOI requests have passed.
C. I haven't begun to tell you what was in that interview.
It has implications for the entire "Coalition of the
willing" which, after being degraded by Abu G'hraib is yet
to come a cropper over Camp Cropper.
D. ABC radio started off with some teasers in its local
radio news on Monday to cross-promote AKA plug the coming
show, then the PM & AM programs got stuck into Minister
Hill later as a part of their traditional follow-up when
something big breaks on 4 Corners.
E. Please, if you have not already seen it, do watch the
4 Corners repeat tonight or record it for later viewing,
perhaps to watch over a cuppa and some cake (when you are
not in a mood) on the weekend.
It is well worth watching if you are at all interested in
what is going on in the wider world around us.
Sincerely,
Michael Granat
