MSNBC - Powell scolds aide after interview interrupted

Secretary of State Colin Powell chastised a press aide for trying to cut short the taping of a television interview Sunday. Ok, I watched the replay and it doesn't really look like a big deal.

In fact it seems like she had to have started her attempt before the question had even begun to be asked. If that is the case then it was not the content of the question that was at issue. Of course the overall tone of the interview could have bothered her, but Powell did ultimately decide for himself to answer the question and the interview continued. This looks as much as anything as a mere mistake, no? Therefore...
