I'm talking about the UN Security Council meeting. All members spoke. When it came time for the Iraqi ambassador to speak, Powell left the room, taking with him CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. Unless one were watching C-Span would not have have heard the presentation of the Iraqi ambassador, a presentation that was only 10 minutes long.

It was an orchestrated and manipulative move on the part of Powell to force the American media to concentrate on him instead of the remarks of the Iraqi ambassador.

My point is were the American public not being manipulated, we would have seen Powell keep the courtesy to remain in his chair and the American public would have heard the remarks of the Iraqi ambassador. Unless, of course, you believe one-sided thinking is the way to go. Do you? Should the American public have been allowed to hear Iraq's presentation to the Security Council?
