think you're being too hard on the old man. there is little he could have done to make the interview more interesting. maybe the writing could have been better though, more context, background, etc, to really reel you in.

Maybe so. I didn't mean to be too hard on him, the headline was rougher than I would have made it. And I am indeed really impressed by the fact he scored the interview. I just think it's the kind of interview that you hear about with lots of excitement, and then can only disappoint you.

I read the late 1990s interview with Bin Laden for comparison, which definitely dug deeper, but I then that had a lot to do with what Bin Laden was willing to answer. http://www.anusha.com/osamaint.htm
