I have conducted a few interviews and will be possibly doing another one on a major national network tomorrow (Sunday). Thus far I have been fair, firm and tactful. Some of my fellow vets are asking me to unload on him on the air. Please share your thoughts....what would you say on the air and why?

Sgt Chris Lessard. I would invite his employer to sponsor a Polygraph or fMRI examination at the No Lie MRI company . . . focused on whether he knew and intentionally fabricated and/or embellished this and/or any other news story.
If he intentionally lied this should end his news career . . .
If not then maybe he gets a little of his credibility back . . .
Keep in mind that many if not all of his news stories have been very supportive of our troops . . . and unlike many other talking heads in the media . . . he really made an effort to go in country and report what he saw.
Warmest Regards, Sandy

Can magnetic-resonance imaging show whether people are telling the truth?
Though he wordsmithed his apology to downplay what he did, he did recant and I am satisfied. For me it was far less damaging what Geraldo Rivera did and being expelled from Iraq for divulging details of a future military operation back in 2003.
Next question is, did Tim Terpak, the CSM who accompanied Williams to the Rangers game, did he know about this who mix-upand embellishment of the story?
Why keep kicking the guy when he's already down.

Jose,
Excellent feedback. You raise some interesting questions. I have wondered myself about CSM Terpak. I appreciate your response.

I see no point in becoming an emotional, ranting and raving lunatic and please don't pull the "I served my country..."
Instead, use this as an opportunity to address media bias, selective reporting, media's obvious political leanings...
Do something that improves reporting (for us!).
While I might agree that he should be fired...what would that really solve, what would change, other than his employment status??
