response. to what was a very harsh criticism from president obama. and they went back and forth as they have in the past on this term, "radical islam." the president won't say it and therefore hasn't

it. here on capitol hill lawmakers are again looking at a weapons ban for people on the no-fly list so they can't buy weapons. the fact that you can't get on a plane with a full bottle shampoo,
