Saddam wanted live satellite debate w/ Bush 2003 Dan Rather

(CBS) The historic interview between CBS News Anchor Dan Rather and Saddam Hussein aired on Iraqi television.

As CBS News Correspondent Mark Phillips reports, there was no choice whether to watch it as it was broadcast on all Iraqi four channels. For the residents of Iraq, though, it was a novel experience.

According to most Iraqis, Saddam is never seen by them to be asked direct questions. But there was little doubt expressed about how their president did. Their reaction is even stronger on what they think of the White House rejection of Saddam's challenge to President Bush for a televised debate.
