Reply #6: It was a good interview, despite Schiefer's mistake,

[Mass]

He introduced the interview by saying Kerry was chairman of the Armed Services Committee (this was not in the interview, so Kerry was not able to correct).

Here are a few write-ups on the interview:

Kerry, Lugar Doubt Pakistan Was Unaware of bin Laden’s Compound

The senior Democrat and Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday that they believe Pakistani officials knew al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was hiding in a compound 35 miles from the capital of Islamabad, even as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser insisted there is no intelligence to prove that.

“I find it very hard to believe that people didn’t know,” Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It is extraordinarily hard to believe that he could have survived here for five years or more in a major population center without some kind of support system



It came after the town hall in Boston yesterday, where Kerry spoke about the intervention and Afghanistan. It seems this is the only thing the local media heard (that and the fact that Brown gave the Republican address, where he made a fool of himself with his poor delivery, but they wont tell you that).

Afghan war dominates Kerry meeting

Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he supports President Obama’s plan to begin bringing home troops in July, but cautioned that withdrawal may not be swift nor simple.

“I, too, want those troops home,’’ said Kerry, who said he will soon travel to Afghanistan. “I think we’re keeping faith in the effort to do due diligence, in order to really look carefully at how to extricate from Afghanistan.’’

Kerry: Pakistan fine ally

Days before he leaves for Afghanistan to get a firsthand assessment of the war, U.S. Sen. John Kerry told a town hall audience yesterday that he wants to see a withdrawal of U.S. soldiers this summer and does not support reprisals against Pakistan for sheltering Osama bin Laden.
