We Can Be Heartened

Hello everyone —
Good to be with you tonight and to see Erica in the big chair again. As much as we all are saddened by the news of yet another big shooting (why is it so easy for someone to carry a duffle bag into a gym with a gun in it???), we can be heartened by these two young journalists coming home tonight. Bill Clinton, President Obama and the Obama administration all deserve praise on this one. But we should remember someone else who has stayed out of the limelight on their release and yet also was relentless in its pursuit: their boss, Al Gore. Well done, one and all!
