Video: It's RETURNING from Jihad that is the Worry

In this video of last night's Glenn Beck show, former CIA officer Mike Baker and some dude named Brad Thor (ever hear of him?) discuss the problems of Somalia as similar to those faced in Afghanistan. It's just the first segment, but it's worth the watch. Especially a point which I've under-emphasized here and which I'll be sure to pay more attention to: that Americans going to Somalia to fight for al Qaeda's local affiliate is disturbing, but the really scary scenario doesn't come until they return.

Thanks to Trollhammer who, for some odd reason, is getting paid by both organizations with an interest in this video yet posts it at neither. Well played Trollhammer. Well played.
