Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran on Tuesday. Portions of that interview will air on the CBS Evening News on Thursday, with a lengthier segment of that interview to be broadcast this Sunday on 60 Minutes. Whatever Ahmadinejad has to say should prove interesting, to say the least.
Wallace said he was surprised to find that the Iranian president was still a college professor who taught a graduate-level course.
“You’ll find him an interesting man,” he said. “I expected more of a firebrand. I don’t think he has the slightest doubt about how he feels … about the American administration and the Zionist state. He comes across as more rational than I had expected.”
