You would have been doubly impressed had you seen Dan Rather's own personal spin on these interviews.

Shortly after Saddan Hussein's capture, the History channel rebroadcast these interviews, albeit with an interesting twist. During the rebroadcast, they had Dan Rather himself commenting on the purpose of the various questions, explaining for the viewers the true but hidden reasoning behind the questions. Much was made of Hussein's offer and the POTUS refusal to engage in live televised debates. Nearly as much was made over Dan Rather's own personal courage in conducting the interviews; bravery personified entering into the mouth of the dragon, as it were . . .

A spin so pure and unfettered a toy top maker would blush . . .

Thanks for the report - I am glad I missed that - blood pressure problems would have been sure to follow!
