Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 2:35 am
JEREMY PAXMAN, JOURNALIST: You are a criminal! You're a convicted criminal!
CONRAD BLACK: No! You're a fool! You're just a gullible fool. You're a priggish, gullible British fool who takes seriously this ghastly American justice system that any sane English person knows is an outrage.
CONRAD BLACK: Let me tell you something: I am proud of having gone through the terribly difficult process of being falsely charged, falsely convicted and ultimately almost completely vindicated without losing my mind, becoming irrational, ceasing to be a penitent and reasonable person and actually being able to endure a discussion like this without getting up and smashing your face in, which is what most people would do if they'd been through what I had been.
JEREMY PAXMAN: Well you go ahead and do ...
CONRAD BLACK: No, no, no, I don't believe in violence.
