More Rants, more phones, more Middle east this hour.

The Rant Line happens first on Friday, so we play Rants and take phone calls as Todd features clips from the BBC of the former head of British Intelligence, Alex Younger, on the nature of terrorism in general and the similarities between intelligence failures of the Israelis last week and the U.S. on Sept 11th.

It's RANT LINE time. Plus, we're joined by Reese On the Radio!
