Scott Pelley did a solid job interviewing Ahmadinejad tonight on 60 Minutes. Two things were apparent from his non-answers: (1) he simply regurgitates American left-wing talking points about Katrina, weapons companies, wiretaps, etc…(2) his rantings and non-sequiturs make a mockery out of the Columbia claim that he will face cross-examination and must explain himself in front of a tough university audience. He won’t.

He simply lies, evades, and smirks that he has found yet another Western media service for his “We don’t want a bomb” message while thousands of centrifuges work overtime. His denials remind of an earlier protest, “This is last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe.”
