Policing Domestic Muslim Radicalism

Hosted by
Eric Holder has become the first Attorney General to address a national Muslim group at a time when Muslim-Americans are divided over the anti-terrorist tactics of the FBI. Are agents over-zealous? Are Muslim-Americans themselves doing enough to combat radicalization? Also, a Virginia Judge rules Obama's healthcare bill "unconstitutional," and the US knows which dealers sell guns to Mexican drug gangs. We hear why prosecution is so rare.

Eric Holder has become the first Attorney General to address a national Muslim group at a time when Muslim-Americans are divided over the anti-terrorist tactics of the FBI. Are agents over-zealous? Are Muslim-Americans themselves doing enough to combat radicalization? Also, a Virginia Judge rules Obama's healthcare bill "unconstitutional." On Reporter's Notebook, federal law keeps them secret, but the Washington Post has learned the names of the top US gun dealers whose weapons turn up at crime scenes in Mexico. So why isn't more being done to stop the traffic?
