Thanks, Kerry. Actually, I agree. The problem wasn't so much that "60 Minutes" interviewed MTG but that it did a much softer interview than you'd have expected from "60 Minutes."

One critic said that Mike Wallace would have done the interview, too, but been much tougher. I think that's why there was so much outrage: People felt "60 Minutes" broke its unofficial contract with readers to do harder-hitting interviews.
