Five minutes with Tony Benn

I was looking for something else, but found this on the BBC news website. What I found interesting was the way in which, early in the interview, Tony Benn identifies the three great moral leaders he met - Gandhi, Tutu and Mandela. I think I might want to disagree in detail about the moral stature of Tutu and Mandela... but I was fascinated that Tony Benn should have identified moral stature as defining what is meant by a great politician.
