:34:02
...because now would
be the time to tell us.
:34:10
Ed, I think I should excuse myself.
:34:12
Palmer, you kidding?
:34:15
My ex was a... I wouldn't say she was a
Communist, but she attended meetings.
:34:20
It was before we were married. I didn't even
really know about it until after the divorce.
:34:24
But it was different then.
We were all on the same side...
:34:29
I'm not telling you anything you don't
know. The thing is, somebody will find out.
:34:35
They'll hurt us with it.
:34:38
I should have told you sooner,
Ed, I'm sorry.
:34:42
Fred.
:34:46
Oh, if none of us had ever read
a dangerous book...
:34:48
...or had a friend who was different...
:34:51
...or never joined an organization
that advocated change...
:34:54
...we'd all be just the kind
of people Joe McCan'thy wants.
:34:59
We're gonna go with the story
because the terror is right here in this room.
:35:06
John, Jesse, go through
the HUAC hearings.
:35:09
Eddie, Palmer, look at
the interviews and any speeches.
:35:13
Okay, fellas, here we go.
:35:16
His own words, that's what we need.
:35:18
- said he wouldn"t remove
that general from the Army...
:35:21
...who cleared a Communist major.
I said, "Then...
:35:23
... general, you should be removed
from any command.
:35:26
Any man who says:
:35:28
"I will protect another general
who protects Communists"...
:35:32
... is not fit
to wear that uniform, general. "
:35:35
All right, hold on.
Ethically, we're fine.
:35:37
But legally if we air this
are we leaking closed-hearing testimony?
:35:41
- He chose to read it.
- We're not misquoting him.
:35:43
There are other reporters. We're safe.
:35:45
- Lf it's a legal issue, it's his.
- I'll check with Legal.
:35:48
And wait till you hear
the bleeding hearts...
:35:51
... scream and cry about our methods...
:35:54
... of trying to drag the truth...
:35:58
... from those who know
or should know...
