Linda Greenhouse Gives the Finger?

Linda Greenhouse and her husband Eugene Fidell weren’t happy that Fox News reporter Jesse Watters tried to ask Fidell about his representation of Bowe Bergdahl, the apparent deserter for whom President Obama exchanged five Taliban members. Watch this video as Watters tries to talk with Fidell beginning around the 2:40 mark, and see it culminate as Greenhouse closes a door to keep Watters out and, from the other side of the glass, turns her wrist and raises her hand in a gesture (at the 3:36 mark) that would sure appear to be a middle-finger salute. (That presumably is why Fox News fuzzes out the image of her hand.)
