Sunday Morning Mashup of NBC MEET THE PRESS:
Scott McClellan
June 1, 2008
Former Press Secretary, Scott McClellan reflects on the conflict between loyalties....
"I tell you, I continue to have a lot of affection for the president. As I say, this was a struggle to write. These were not easy words to write, but I have a responsibility to the American people. I've had a career in public service, this book is an extension of my career. I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference. I had a very political family that believed in the importance of public service and that was taught to me at an early age. And now this is my time to share my experiences with the American people. And I think others should come forward and share their candid insights about what they learned and what they lived and what they learned from it.

This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Space station hardware in the foreground includes the Mini-Research Module (MRM1, center) and a Russian Progress vehicle docked to the Pirs Docking Compartment (right). Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 47 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA...
