Very curious. Transcript for Newshour discussion of Novak/Plame is missing

[Stephanie]

Did Terence Smith let the cat out of the bag? I'm wonderiing if PBS would prefer not to desseminate his remarks any further - he did flatly state that it's understood in DC that Novak named the WH traitors who leaked Plame's name. Why are DC "journalists" keeping this secret?

The transcript for this segment of Thursday's Newshour has still not appeared. I sent an email to PBS this morning telling them about the error message I get at the link below but got no response. Transcripts are posted for all the other segments of the show.

Is it possible they are withholding this transcript deliberately?

1. The transcript is there in another form ... as is the video

Scroll down the following URL until you find program from Thursday:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/newshour_index.html#

While the text transcript is missing you can find it on the video presentation screen ... along with the video of the interview with Terrence Smith (the audio, too).

I don't think anything sinister is going on.
