From summer 2010 until now, Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network WikiLeaks and its enigmatic Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange.
Reporters Jesper Huor and Bosse Lindquist have traveled to key countries where WikiLeaks operates, interviewing top members, such as Assange, new Spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, as well as people like Daniel Domscheit-Berg who now is starting his own version – Openleaks.org!
Where is the secretive organization heading? Stronger than ever, or broken by the US? Who is Assange: champion of freedom, spy or rapist? What are his objectives? What are the consequences for the internet?”
5 years after Kanye went on national TV and aired out the President during a Hurrican Katrina telethon, W has seen fit to speak on the incident. During an interview with Matt Lauer in support of his new book Decison Points, Bush states that Kanye’s announcement was “one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency”.
“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”
So it wasn’t the moment that you realized the Iraq war was a huge waste of time, money and human life? And I guess the site of bodies floating around the streets or New Orleans didn’t move you? No, it was a rapper going on TV and calling you out for what you are. Read some more excerpts from the interview, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, after the jump.
Lauer quotes from Bush’s new book: “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.’
President Bush responds: “Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em, and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em.
Lauer: “You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your presidency?”
Bush: “Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment.”
Lauer: “I wonder if some people are going to read that, now that you’ve written it, and they might give you some heat for that. And the reason is this — “
Bush [interrupting]: “Don’t care.”
Lauer: “Well, here’s the reason. You’re not saying that the worst moment in your presidency was watching the misery in Louisiana. You’re saying it was when someone insulted you because of that.”
Bush: “No, and I also make it clear that the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well. There’s a lot of tough moments in the book. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple.”
The full interview will air on Matt Lauer Reports on November 8th.
This is sick – tying in prochoice rights with free health care? Dubbing Obama the angel of death? This is Extreme Rightwing, Extreme Republican KKK propaganda at it’s best on a not-so subliminal level.
bahaha. what a fucking idiot. fired! can’t wait to see what brilliant mind they replace him with.
Even if you don’t smoke you should support this guy for representing whats right… a pro-choice stance. The days of prohibition and fear mongering must end. Any motion towards education and choice should be applauded!! Support Marc who is currently serving 5 years in a United States Federal Penitentiary for selling ‘seeds’ to US residence by joining his Facebook and Email list. The fact Harper allowed his extradition to the US is just further symbolize of our Governments moral compass. http://freemarc.ca/ for more information.
