First, SSH1 and SSH2 are both protocols. SSH applications (clients and servers such as OpenSSH) are as secure as the last bottle of beer at a keg-party. (it all depends on which friends are in your house). To say that one is more secure (insecure?) than another is not very accurate.
Overall, agreed. However, Carrie is correct in saying that vulnerabilities have been found in the SSH1 protocol. She was indeed speaking of the protocol, not of an application.
