Couric Asks Iraqi: Do You Long For Saddam?
In a recent interview with an Iraqi leader, CBS News Anchor Katie Couric asked an Iraqi woman if she missed Saddam Hussein.
In all seriousness, at the end of her two minute interview with Executive Director of the American Islamic Congress Zainab Al-Suwaij Couric asked Zainab, “Do you ever long for the days of Saddam Hussein?”
Zainab immediately said “No.”
Couric paused, waiting for Zainab to explain. After taking a breath Zainab emphasized “no” again and “we hope for a better Iraq.”
Katie may as well have asked this woman if she longed for breast cancer.
How any serious Ameican journalist could consider that a legitimate question is beyond me.
