    What do you think about our green oval?

    We started something new (again) here on GretaWire ...the short videos in the "green oval" on the right hand side of GretaWire. I am curious what you think of these videos.  Their point is only to bring you behind the scenes of ON THE RECORD at 10pm and the videos are certainly not professionally shot (I shot them!) If you click on the green oval, and then click on the shows tabs, you can see some of the archived videos.  We shot several on our trip to Pakistan last week...and a few on our trip to NYC to do the election night coverage. ... read more

    U.S. BUNGLED THIS ONE

    I have been closely following the political crisis in Honduras - even to the extent of going to Honduras and interviewing the Interim Leader Micheletti and talking to other people who live there. I so wanted to think (believe) that the US handled and was handling this one well and right.  From the beginning I have had my doubts ...but tried really hard to have faith in our government's handling of the political crisis.  Yes, this is a small country, but it is a neighbor and an ally.  It is also in a very strategic location ... read more

    KINDLE problem

    Since I travel so much, I bought the new KINDLE that allows downloading overseas.  I have been having trouble with the text to speech function -- it shuts down by itself after a period of time (hour?) and I get an error message when I try to re-start it telling me I have to restart the device if I want to restart the text to speech function. Is the way the new international one is designed or is there a defect in my new device? ... read more

    Are you kidding???

    I don't know about you...but I am sick and tired of hearing people on television suggest or hint how this killer in Fort Hood -- 13 murdered -- is somehow to be sympathized with or we should feel sorry for him because he had others tell him about their tough life experiences? ... read more
