Jason Leopold interviews Joe Wilson about The Plame Leak

[7Yosef7]

While this wuss was "surfing and maintaining a C average", my older brother was fighting in Vietnam. Not everyone lacked the moral courage during the 1960s to answer our nation's call. This punk and his ilk are traitors and cowards.

@7Yosef7 your brother was a brave lion led by donkeys (actually american goverment officials are an insult for donkeys). Use your mind not only your brave heart. American international policies are darker than that of any organised crime organisation (or of so called "terrorists" (the beloved term of american goverment officials)).

(5)... it would be wise for people to embrace this climate before it becomes de rigeur and inescapable. You just presented a first-rate interview with Joe Wilson -- and yet 16 hours ago (based on the # of VIEWS displayed under this video, and the # of comments before mine -- one) the # of views was only 16 total. I believe this is largely due to TAGS (which is something I have come to figure out a bit more in the YouTube "similar items" engine)--

(6) (I recommend adding to current tags: JoeWilson, ValeriePlame, LibbyTrial, truthout, Jason Leopold) But my main point: I believe you will experience exponential growth in viewership here by providing "missing context" absent in this clip: I was glad you mentioned your Rove indictment story, but you did not explain why or where it did not materialize as you had reported it would. Understanding what happened would benefit all. Thank you.

(4)... and now question your journalistic integrity. FWIW, I believe that the "PR-mitigation" strategies of old, specifically, to ignore a past reputational blur in the belief that the blur fades away as time moves on, is now a fatally flawed approach to "moving on". It is only a matter of time before the progressive-web communities will collectively form a "100% Acountability Engine"... and...

(1 of x) Jason, it's great to see this kind of interview on net-TV. Not sure why it has taken this long to get the alt-news publishers/reporters on-the-stick re use of TV -- vs the past 6 years of almost entirely TEXT-on-a-webpage, which will never ever ever have an impact on mainstream America. (truthout published video shorts on their website, but one must admit that the audience there pales significantly to that of the explosive phenomenon of YouTube. (see 2)

[quicksite]

(2) Regardless, this is a good sign because only when material is made available to the public in THIS format will the truth-ever-really-get-out. Josh Marshall's 4x-a-week net-TV commentary, plus Marcy Wheeler's on the Libby trial, have been the most important advancement in the entire realm of breaking through the tightly-calibratede corporate news filter. So, bravo on moving to this influential distribution platform. I look forward to much much more ahead. (see 3)

(3) All that said, I would urge you to comment, on camera, published to your new YouTube channel, about the Rove Indictment issue. I believe it is important to do so for many reasons, but the predominant one is to re-set the understandings of your audience here on credibility. You took a tremendous hit with that piece, and regardless of what you or t/o management might think personally about that episode, many people have thrown the baby out with the bathwater...

Wilson calling Cheney a "son of a bitch." gotta love it.

@truthlovver

After placing MY wife, and MY family in direct PHYSICAL danger, calling Dickless a "son of a bitch" would be much sweeter done in person, and JUST before I stuck my 1912 up his ass and emptied the clip...
