What did she say after Snowden dropped that bomb?
I'm gonna guess a whole lot of flustered backpedaling amounting to not a lot of anything, but I'm willing to be surprised if someone wants to dig up the video.
I don't think this image shows her being in a position to backpedal from. I see her providing him with a platform to counter some points that were made elsewhere; she has not necessarily taken a position one way or the other.
I meant backpedaling in the journalistic way of 'Oh you seem to actually know more about what you're talking about than I do and have a lot to say on the subject, I should, uh, redirect to a different topic where I can catch you out for that sick sound bite' or whatever. Maybe that's not what was going on in that interview, Iono, I haven't seen it.
Just because an interviewer brings up a point doesn't mean they agree with it.
Thus my skepticism that she had anything useful to say in response.
