They will interview Assange.

[Ian David]

1. No. 60 Minutes sucks. n/t

[Lint Head]

13. This is really good. Assange is a hero. He is not an American but

he is stating the reason for the first amendment better than anyone I've heard with a current public forum. He is also under threat of bodily harm and prosecution. Some have argued he is not a journalist. I think the ones that do argue that are the ones that feed us bull shit on a daily basis.

[malaise]

17. He's doing fine but the Steve Ahole

is asking some really stupid questions

[Electric Monk]

18. "Do you have a five gigabyte hard drive?" LOL

Speaking of stupid questions...

[suffragette]

21. Just turned in on the West Coast

and entirely agree with your assessment.

[zappaman]

2. Don't tell me what to do!

I question your authority!!!

[babsbunny]

11. I think he said "blessed are the cheesemakers"!

Kroft acts as if he's never heard of newspapers publishing leaks or classified secrets.

[Better Believe It]

15. Thanks for the alert!

[midnight]

16. "We want transparent govt. not transparent people" Right on!

[Robb]

22. I thought Assange did well, came across well.

Not much meat, in terms of new information or anything, but in media terms I'd call this one a win for Assange.

[gateley]

25. Good to hear - looking forward to watching later. nt

[Luminous Animal]

23. That was very good.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

24. He makes his interviewers look petty and stupid.

He's very cool and a lot smarter than the interviewers.
