Tonight, ABC News will broadcast Barbara Walters’s interview with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. The network hasn’t released the full transcript yet, but so far press releases suggest that the big news is that Assad is denying any responsibility for the almost 4,000 Syrians killed since the beginning of the uprising in February.

“[W]e don’t kill our people,” Assad tells Walters. “[N]o government in the world kills its people, unless it’s led by a crazy person.”
