well, you needed to hear the LONG interview with the president of NBC news on "Countdown" (Keith Olbermann) last night as he explained the thinking and the process that led to their decision.

(if your browser is configured to do the javascript thing, you can watch the whole thing....down under 'more video'..."Capus explains dropping Imus".)

Capus is kind of amazing for a big executive...he sounded intelligent, thoughtful, sincere and committed.
