Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified that he did not see the photographs until late in the game.
But, Hersh writes, "he knew enough about the abuses" to talk CBS's "60 Minutes II" into delaying a report on the abuses that included the photographs. The CBS report, broadcast April 28, was the public's first view of the images.
-- from today's CNN report
==================================
(1) Game? A serious game? Is it an expression in a humorous way?
(2) "he knew enough about the abuses" to talk CBS's "60 Minutes II" into delaying a report on the abuses that included the photographs.
Who talked into CBS? Myers? He said he did not see the photos but actually he knew enough about them -- according to Hersh's report -- and further he talked into ( "talk into" = to persuade someone into doing something) CBS to delaying the photos?
"Late in the game" here means "late in the sequence of events" -- nothing fun or humorous about it.
You're very close on 2... Meyers talked to CBS and persuaded them to delay showing the photos. He did this because, although he had not seen the photos, he knew about the abuses they portrayed...
Another qu:
Keep on rockin in the free world.
Keep on rockin = keep on rocking = a metaphor for taking any action as you wish in the bounds of the laws?
