Hillary Clinton on State of the Union with Candy Crowley Sunday

There is nothing emptier than a Hillary-free weekend. When she travels, of course, she does not have weekends off. Although we know she works on weekends when she is home, she does so out of camera range. So it is always a treat (or for some, a "fix") when we get to see her on Sunday TV. The bonus is that we get to see her, but she does not have to actually be at a studio since this was pre-recorded. We hope she gets some rest since several of us could hear some congestion when she spoke yesterday morning and think she might be fighting a cold.

Here is a preview provided by CNN.



(CNN) - The biggest threats to America's national security come not from Iran or North Korea, but from trans-national non-state actors, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN's Candy Crowley in an exclusive interview to air Sunday.

"Most of us believe the greater threats are the trans-national non-state networks, primarily the extremists – the fundamentalist Islamic extremists who are connected to al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula," Clinton said. "Or al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan."

"They continue to try to increase the sophistication of their capacity," the nation's top diplomat added. "The attacks that they're going to make and the…biggest nightmare that any of us have is that one of these terrorist member organizations within this syndicate of terror will get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction."
