I agree that Lauer wasn't awful but after seeing his interview with Obama and all the softballs there was a definite contrast with the Bush interview. But Hound is right, he probably asked a lot of questions people wanted to hear about, even supporters of Bush.

I do think he did a better job of answering the torture question, especially about waterboarding, than Hound thought. His point is that the lawyers were asked to advise him as to whether waterboarding was legal and the answer was yes. When you combine that with the lives saved and the limited use (on only 3 of hundreds of prisoners) it was a decent defense of his decision. I also came away from that segment thinking there was a lot more to the story than he was able to discuss.
