Which interviewer showed Rummy the clip of him and Saddam shaking hands?

[Cocoa]

was it Tim Russert?

As I remember it, the interviewer asked Rummy about meeting Saddam, Rummy feigned ignorance, then the interviewer showed him the clip, and Rummy says something like "well, whaddya know, there we are..."

Does anyone remember this, or was I dreaming?

Inside Track
CNN's Creative Editing...

The Louisiana Weekly has learned that CNN management drastically edited an interview with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld dealing with Rumsfeld's 1983 meeting with Saddam Hussein.
CNN had obtained a photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Hussein on December 20, 1983. At the time, Rumsfeld did not serve in government but was a member of Ronald Reagan's so-called "kitchen cabinet" of Washington advisors.
Jamie McIntyre, the news service's senior Pentagon reporter, showed Rumsfeld the video footage of he and Hussein, and asked him about the meeting. Ironically, Rumsfeld's own Department of Defense printed the original transcript of the interview in full, without editing, but CNN's website and on-air reports heavily cut the exchange.
Here is the DoD's version:

McIntyre: Well, let me take you back to about 20 years ago. The date, I believe, was December 20, 1983. You were meeting with Saddam Hussein, I think we have some video of that meeting. Tell me what was going on during this meeting?

Rumsfeld: Where did you get this video, from Iraqi television?

McIntyre: This is from the Iraqi television.

Rumsfeld: When did they give it to you, recently or back then?

McIntyre: We dug this out of the CNN library.

Rumsfeld: I see. Isn't that interesting. There I am.

McIntyre: So what was going on here, where were you thinking at the time?

Rumsfeld: Well, Iraq was in a battle, a war with Iran. And the United States had just had 241 Marines killed...



Rumsfeld continues to explain that Iraq had seemed a bulwark against the danger of Iran at the time. However, what CNN chose to air was the following:

McIntyre: Well, let me take you back to about 20 years ago. The date, I believe, was December 20, 1983. You were meeting with Saddam Hussein. Tell me what was going on during this meeting?

Rumsfeld: Well, Irag was in a battle, a war with Iran. And the United States had just had 241 Marines killed...

The Secretary's surprise and shock at the footage was left out of the offical CNN version. Ironically, Rumsfeld's own people at DoD had no problem telling the exact truth of the interview or else this newspaper would never have learned of the discrepancy.
The Cable News Network had no comment as to why they made the change.
