A bit ironic that the title of this segment is "Five minutes or less" and the revealing part begins at almost the five-minute mark exactly. This guy provides the quintessential example for the problems a nation runs into when it does not adequately identify the enemy. With his rhetorical questions, he is clearly attempting to excuse Hasan's massacre of 14 infidels.
Disgusting.

VIDEO: HOLDER GRILLED BY RINO LINDSEY GRAHAM
If Lindsey Graham's actions matched his rhetorical skills, I'd definitely feel more passionate about supporting him in this exchange. I have a problem getting behind a Senator who is justifiably grilling a guy like Holder when that Senator is in support of Cap & Trade legislation while also being known as Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty.
That said, looking strictly at this exchange, Graham has Holder in a pickle. If Khalid Sheikh Mohammad is going to be tried in Federal court, he is entitled to Miranda rights - rights he wasn't awarded. The logical follow-up for Graham is whether or not bin Laden should be mirandized if he were captured tomorrow. The fact that Holder can't answer that question sufficiently boxes him in.
Holder is building quite the resume for himself.
1.) Marc Rich pardon
2.) Pardoning of FALN terrorists
3.) Pardoning 2 members of Weather Underground
4.) Partner at Covington Burling, a firm that represented Gitmo detainees
5.) Opening the door for CIA prosecutions
6.) Charges dropped against Black Panthers for voter intimidation in Philadelphia
7.) Trying KSM in NYC
If you need help identifying the most absurd positions Holder is taking, check out the guy sitting behind Graham. His facial expressions will tell you.

AUDIO: DAVID FRUM VS. JOHN ZIEGLER
Truly a conservative boxing match between moderate David Frum and strong Sarah Palin advocate John Ziegler. Laura Ingraham moderates the debate impartially. If Frum has any regrets about the debate, it's the fact that he didn't read the book because several times after making a claim, Ziegler would respond by telling Frum to read the book. That tactic left Frum defenseless each time and he had to re-calibrate.
However, for a microcosm of the conservative vs. moderate movements, LISTEN to the interview. In the end, Frum comes across as deathly afraid of a Republican loss in 2012 and thinks Palin would guarantee one. Ziegler, conversely, comes across as an advocate for igniting the passion in the conservative movement almost as much as a Palin defender, especially toward the end when he smacks down Frum with a comment about the Republican party needing to support its warriors instead of its traitors.
