I was not surprised that Tim Miller held the views he expressed in his most recent interview. He has expressed such sentiments publically before.
From my standpoint, TM has every right to feel "pizzed" with the current situation. I applaud him for fighting for the privacy rights of the volunteers.
But as this seems to be so emotionally charged for him right now, I just wonder if a spokesperson would not be a better fit until the trial is over. Selfishly, for me the state cannot dump enough documents, Court TV cannot air enough hearings and the major players cannot give enough interviews. I like hearing how Tim really feels as it fills in gaps and case history for a story I have followed with interest. I just don't know what benifit Tim or TES, a group funded partly through donations, will gain from such frankness. Try listening to this interview his with an unadulterated ear, as someone who has not followed the case. The volunteer privacy issue was certainly a worthy topic however speaking about personal feelings about the A's or attributing sentiments to their former attorney's made him come across as someone with an axe to grind. Again, I've followed the case, i understand that axe. But as the director of TES and a likely prosecutorial witness, I don't see the benefits of airing such grievances publically at this time.
