The NewsHour (TV Program) Last night!

"The problem...is that nobody went into this expecting that they were going to have to producecourtroom-quality evidence to back up their claims."
Karim Sadjadpour from Carnegie Endowment for Int'l Peace

Three analyists discuss the British hostage situation on "The NewsHour", PBS. Read the whole transcript here.
