Number of americans on american soil. ands you said from the list before, they got people like hasan to kill soldiers in a recruiting center in texas. our future, without those two men, looks a little bit safer. certainly does to me. >> let me just draw our viewers attention. we just showed on the screen the latest edition of "inspire" magazine, notable because it is their victory lap, if you will, for the tenth anniversary of 9/11 with the twin towers. and in this magazine he also, interestingl...
