Did Wallace get Schooled or was he an Accomplice

For those of you who watched the Mike Wallace interview with Iranian President Ahmadinejad...I'd like for you to offer your opinion.



Did Mike Wallace actually get out-maneuvered by his guest or were Mr. Wallaces' occasional but weak-willed protests part of a cleaver plan to allow the Iranian unfettered access to a promote his propaganda?

Nearing 50 years old, I have been witness far too often to Mike Wallace's slice and dice style on 60 minutes to believe he has lost the tools of assertive interview techniques. The number of U.S. Businessmen, Politicians and other newsworthy personalities could tell you first hand how they were never allowed to get their side of the story on air. Yet, this U.S. agtagonists is provide full reign of the air waves to put forward his point of view on a wide range of topics.

So, in my mind...The old man has either lost his stuff or worse...He consciously opted to provide this man full and unfettered access to America. I have no objection to that except that the journalistic roadside is littered with publicly humiliated corpses of Mr. Wallace's work in the past. Many of whom were U.S. Citizen's who may or may not have made mistakes, but at least had never paid a terrorist to kill someone.

Mr. Wallace should provide Prime Minister Olmert equal time and more importantly equal treatment.
