I just remembered my NRO column from almost two years ago on Dan Rather’s hard-hitting, no-holds-barred interview with Saddam Hussein.

Sample:

Dan Rather: Mr. President, you’re being very patient with your time, and I want you to know I consider this a solemn moment in history, and, if I may, take time to have you speak to the American people about questions that I know are on their minds. I just want you to know that I appreciate your patience here.

If that’s whet your appetite, the full column is here.
