I agree with this guy 26th parallel, this lady didn't really say that.
Ros-Lehtinen Unedited Tape Still A Hatchet Job
I didn't post initially on the Ileana Ros-Lehtinen interview for the documentary 638 Ways to Kill Castro, since it was handled very well by my cohorts and it was extremely obvious that the tape was edited.Now, the Miami Herald reports that an "unedited" version of the tape has been released by the director, Dollan Cannell. Cannell and the Herald state unequivocally that Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's comment about "welcoming the opportunity" for castro to be assassinated was not taken out of context in the original version, contrary to what the congresswoman alleged last week. Not only that, but Cannell wants a retraction and an apology from Ros-Lehtinen.OK folks, do yourselves a favor and go to this link and then click on the "Video See the interview" link. See the whole interview for yourself. Pay close attention to Ros-Lehtinen's body language and cadence of speech. From the 11:04 mark to 11:09 on the tape counter is when the congresswoman makes her "welcoming assassination" comment.At 11:06, there is a clear and obvious break in Ros-Lehtinen's body language and cadence, along with a split-second freeze-frame right before the assassination comment is made. Nowhere else in the tape is there such an awkward break.Coincidence? Think what you will, but it only took me one time through the interview to catch the apparent edit job at precisely the right time in what's supposed to be an "unedited" tape. I may be wrong, but I never doubt my first instinct and gut feelings.Ros-Lehtinen may actually desire that castro be eliminated by any means possible, including assassination. If so, then....so? I would agree with her, and so would many others who have suffered or seen relatives suffer at the hand of that bastard. But that's not the point.What's wrong here is that a documentary apparently approaching a story from its own angle and perspective, and trying to discredit and paint a U.S. Congresswoman as dishonest and dishonorable, is resorting to dishonest tactics to accomplish this.God knows we have so many politicians who could fit the bill. However, Dollan Cannell, regardless of how many Emmys won, needs to bark up another tree.Again, take a good and honest look at the tape.
