Well yes I'm sure he meant dead and buried, as most people do weight till one is buried before punching out the relatives


The Twist
Yeah we would'nt want to honor his wishes to release his comments after he died.


noestoli
Why is it tacky? He made the comments during an interview and asked that they remain private until his death.

He died, they were released. What's tacky about that?


Snowshoe
If this was his wish, then no it wasn't tacky.


madisonian51
Absolutely not! If these comments were released at the time they were spoken perhaps it would have gotten us on the path to finding a solution to the problem that G. Bush got the country involved with.


Bill
Nope. The deal was to embargo it til he died. He's dead. Voila.

Okay, look at your answers. This was Gerald Ford's request, not to release HIS analysis; until after he was dead. Why he chose to speak out, after death can be interpreted as a final act of patriotism. Too many quiet "governmental persons of interest"exist, to me.

There is too much silence.

No,The man AND his wishes were honored.The conservatives are so scared they'll grab ANYTHING to complain about.Don't they realize that everyone is sick of the whining????

No. I think his wish, of waiting for his death before voicing his opinion WAS tacky. This is a serious issue and ALL citizens have a reponsibility to get in there and use their voice NOW, not for the history books.

Not tacky. It shows that many Americans just can't handle the truth. Ford was right.


George B
No I don't think releasing a man's words before a funeral is tacky. I hope they release George Bush's words soon. The timing won't be tacky but I bet just like the man the words will be.

I would call it "classless." Woodward likes to write and sell books. It looks like he is once again going after the free publicity.


Ice
Absolutely. And blatant liberal media bias trying to bash the war.

Yes.

It really was in bad taste, in fact, I thought a lot of the news coverage about President Ford was in bad taste.


Studbolt Slickrock
Yes. All war critics should be silenced.


Lance
That's our liberal press.

Who cares, it sounds like the guy was clueless anyway:

"I don't think I would have ordered the Iraq war. I would have maximized our effort through sanctions, through restrictions, whatever, to find another answer." Shouldn't there come a point when sanctions and resolutions become futile? And wouldn't 17 resolutions fall under that category?

I'm sad to see the man pass away, from what I know of him, he was a good and decent person, who served his country with distinction, but he was wrong in his assumptions about the war.


helo2k6
Yes. It's similar to a terrorist walking into a crowded cafe, unmasking himself and then shouting out some Islamo-facist statement before blowing himself up.

For those of you who don't get it. It's similar to being a coward and hiding your true face, then showing the world who you are before you make a boom and not suffering the consequences of your actions.
