This is from the May 16, 2004 program of
Meet the Press.
This is pretty unbelievable. Colin Powell’s press aide attempted to put an early end to the interview by suddenly moving the camera away from Powell (right after Powell addresses the torture situation and right before Russert asks a hard-hitting question about the fake nigerian yellow cake WMD evidence he cited within his U.N. speech). Powell gets her out of the way somehow, manages to get the camera pointed in the right direction, and resumes the interview. You can hear him say “Emily, get out of the way.”
Here’s the clip that contains what I mention above (happens about half way through):
Colin Powell Clip – Meet The Press (12 MB)
It happens about half way through, right after Powell’s admission that he and numerous top officials, including Condi Rice and Rummy, were made aware of the torture situation via a report from the Red Cross they all received way back in mid-February 2004.
Update 4:49 pm: Use one of the three mirrors below:

Powell On “Meet The Press”
Lisa Rein’s got a great video clip of Colin Powell on “Meet The Press”. His press aide tries to cut him off when the interviewer asks about the whole WMD thing, but Powell ignores her. He can clearly be heard saying “Emily, get out of the way!” He then…
what happened to the video?
Someone else should mirror this video It was down pretty early on Monday.
Too much traffic?
Powell on Meet the Press
For the last time, so you don’t have to go past *gag* Drudge. With a thanks to Mr. Doctorow of BoingBoing. Saved time and money. I been ragging on ol’ Colin, but this I must admit: he don’t duck. And…
Perhaps you could make a torrent of the video? Share the load amongst all of us who want to see it and disseminate to all.
Cory Doctorow should have torrented these files! He should well realize by now that if he’s having big bandwidth probs, people he links to will also… Thanks Boingboing!
Btw, Thx Lisa for all the Daily show clips. I now get it off suprnova, but you are the one who turned me on to it last year!
i can mirror them on my NCSU quota space, i have at least room for the clip on there
just drop me an email and i can put it on there

Put The Camera Back, Emily
Way too much politics around here for the last couple of weeks. It’s really hard when every time you turn on the news you want to scream at the top of your lungs about how incredibly wrong things are. As…
The turning away of the camera is the best reaction to an over-blown story I’ve seen in a long time. Kudo’s to the staffer who stuck it to Russert in such a great subtle way.

I can mirror the clip, too. Email me privately and I’ll set you up with details
I’ve got a copy, will start a torrent tracker.

Could this guy be humiliated any more than this ?
Speaking of Disturbing
To quote little Rob, check this out: Colin Powell’s aide trying to chop off an interview with Tim Russert and Powell straightening her out (“Emily, get out of the way.”). The first movie link has been disabled, but check the…
over blown?

travelgate was overblown!
gennifer flowers was overblown
paula barbieri was overblown!
blowjobs were overblown!
22,000 dead Iraqis and 900 dead and countless maimed Americans and you think it’s trivial. You’re what’s wrong with the country.
Powell on Meet the Press
Here’s something you don’t see in today’s political arena very often these days. Colin Powell was on Meet the Press Sunday night, when one of his staffers attempted to cut off the interview in the midst of one of Tim Russert’s questions. Powell was not…
Powell bitches out press aide on the air.
There’s only one man in the current administration that I have any serious amount of respect for and that’s Colin Powell. He gave me another reason to respect him after he bitched out his press aide on the air for trying to end an interview early that …
Colin Powell tries to remember where he last saw his integrity
I watch about as much “Meet the Press” as I watch anything else on broadcast TV (which is to say, not at all), but it would have been fun to see this one: EMILY MILLER, STATE DEPARTMENT PRESS AIDE: You’re off. SECRETARY POWELL: I am not off…
Powell: Stooge of a corrupt administration, or liar in his own right?
That seems to be the question. Les points to a video clip of an unedited interview of Colin Powell by Tim Russert, during which Powell press aide Emily Miller turns the camera away from Powell and says “You’re off”. After…

Mirroring Files
An amusing lesson learned yesterday: don’t offer to mirror files unless you are up for an onslaught.
My ISP is down–a cable cut near the office where my servers are. http://houseofwarwick.com/ will be down for awhile. Spread the word or try the freecache link:
