And If Osama Gave Her Some "Face Time," He'd Forget All About Those 72 Virgins

Barbara Walters, on Larry King Live Monday night, pitching the upcoming "Ten Most Fascinating People of 2005" show and explaining the criteria for making the list:

LARRY KING: Nobody infamous--so you won't do, like Time magazine did Hitler as man of the year once.

BARBARA WALTERS: No.

KING: Someone who had a profound effect. You wouldn't do Saddam Hussein?

WALTERS: No.

KING: But if he gave you the interview, would you do him?

WALTERS: Oh, I would do him for hours and hours and hours.
