President and Mrs. Bush

What is always fun about interviewing President Bush 41 is that Mrs. Bush is there.  She is fun -- she has a very sharp wit.  In these pics you see where we interviewed President Bush and the set we created for the interview (and you can see where Mrs. Bush is in the background.) These pics were taken in Berlin, Germany (the interview of President Bush 41 we aired last night ON THE RECORD at ... read more

home

We are now back home - or will be in thirty minutes. It is always great to be home. These short trips to far away locations are exhausting but fascinating. I am sorry I stopped posting videos in the green oval but I had phone issues that had to do with my data program. I hope that is now resolved - I do know that it worked this afternoon from Berlin so I am sure the problems posting are behind me. ... read more

finally -

We finally had some free time since leaving Wednesday morning for Chicago...Pakistan....and Berlin. We are now at the airport in Berlin but had two free hours after our President Bush 41 interview and thus headed to a great restaurant in Berlin. And now? At the airport in Berlin (check out the videos posted in the green oval - I think I have fixed my video posting problems.) Some incidental facts: ... read more

Behind the scenes: Sec Clinton

Yesterday in Islamabad, Pakistan, we interviewed Secretary of State Clinton.  You will see the interview Monday night, ON THE RECORD at 10pm.  What you won't see - and what I love to use GretaWire for - is the behind the scenes.  The short video below is the behind the scenes.  You can see where all the media who travels with the Secretary set up to do interviews and you can also see our OTR ... read more

Debi the shooter?

This is deep behind the scenes.....how we shot a segment in Islamabad. If you follow GretaWire, GretaLiveWire or even ON THE RECORD at 10pm, you know "Debi the Make Up Artist."  Yes, she is the make up artist but the truth is that "on the road" she is so much more -- she has a billion tasks on the road unrelated to hair and make up which is why she is always on the trips. Last night on ON ... read more

Security at our hotel - there is a war here

Because there is a war going on here in Pakistan, the country feels like it is on total lockdown.  Every few feet there is a check point.  A car bomb blew up in front of a hotel (Mariott) so you can't get very close to any hotel now with a car. As close as our car did get, it was checked for a bomb....hood lifted etc. ... read more

Security in a country hosting a war

Just to give you a taste of the security and fear in Islamabad, let me tell you what it is like getting into our hotel. You pull your car up to the first checkpoint at the hotel where there are 6 to 10 armed men.  The men circle the car, look under it, lift hood and look inside....open the back and look inside ...and question us, the occupants.  One we get the pass through, a metal gate is ... read more
