Aussie Channel Nine pinged

Embarrassment for Australia's Channel Nine: Aussie commander in East Timor Brigadier Michael Slater was pressed by Today Show host Jessica Rowe about whether Dili was as safe as the Australian military said, given the armed soldiers onscreen at his shoulder. Slater responded:

Jessica I feel quite safe, yes, but not because I've got these armed soldiers behind me that were put there by your stage manager here to make it look good.
Ha!
