I watched the whole interview and in common with a number of people was not totally impressed by Miriam. I have an enormous monitor so I like to have the interviews playing in full screen and it helps me focus, not only on the words but how they are spoken. Thanks to some nice zooming by Bill and Kerry we had a very good view of her face at certain times during the interview and my impression was that she is a genuine person but I suspect her story has been embellished in parts.

I would say that she HAS had an important experience but to 'flesh' it out for a book she has called on other things that perhaps she has heard or read elsewhere.

I fall back on my personal theory that it is the message and not the messenger that is important and in this respect it is a message that I think everyone here can relate to.

Massive respect once again to Bill and Kerry for bringing these issues to our doorstep.
