My Comment: I have always enjoyed watching Charlie Rose .... and while the details of his interview with Bashar al-Assad have already been leaked, I suspect that this is still going to be an interesting interview .... especially since it will be broadcast on the eve of President Obama preparing to make his case to the American people for a military strike against Syria.
