    That was good

    Glenn,

    I quite enjoyed your interview with HH and found him refreshingly even tempered in his manner. He did focus rather predictably on the Hamas as terrorsist/Arabs with grievances towards Israel want to kill all the Jews "argument", but at least he kept his voice down and let you speak.

    My comment concerns your hewing to a rather mainstream tack regarding the recent, and to my observation Israel's most egregious and unjustifiable aggression. I'm wondering if this was deliberate with the idea that Hewitt's listeners would be a hostile audience. Whatever the intent, I was surprised by the host's manner and found it a fairly productive discussion.
