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."

The other two questions in the brief spot Couric asked were "As an Iraqi woman, do you feel hopeful or hopeless?" and "from your experience do they [Iraqis] want US troops to leave that country?"

Zainab said she was hopeful that Iraq would have a better future and said Iraqis do want to Americans leave the region, but not anytime soon. She said if U.S. troops were to leave Iraq today, it would be "disaster"
