I thought the edited version on 60 Minutes was bad enough, but this unedited version broadcast on C-Span really shows the bias of American media. Wallace is constantly trying to provoke Ahmadinejad into saying something controversial and provocative. He's certainly not a nut-job or a lunatic as the American press is trying to make him out to be. I'm hard pressed to find anything at all even remotely controversial or false in any of the statements made in this interview despite Wallace's best attempts. Ahmadinejad even resists saying nasty things about Bush (a temptation that, unfortunately, fellow US critic Hugo Chavez cannot resist). The only good thing about this interview is that it gave the Iranian president a rare chance to speak at length to a Western audience without being chopped up into sound bites. It is painfully obvious to any objective observer who the paranoid nut job is in this interview. It is the terribly rude and uninformed interviewer from 60 Minutes. Time to retire, Wallace. You're losing touch.
