     COMMENTS: Couric Finds Holder Fascinating

The main set piece of CBS' newscast was a Katie Couric Reports feature on Eric Holder, the newly arrived Attorney General. Couric claimed an Exclusive for her sitdown, a portion of which, concerning the botched prosecution of Ted Stevens, was aired Tuesday. This seven-minute-long second part covered narcoviolence in Mexico, gun control legislation, the trials awaiting the inmates at Guantanamo Bay and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Holder called official corruption in Mexican law enforcement "clearly a problem." On gun control, Holder respects the Second Amendment and looks forward "to working with the National Rifle Association to come up with ways in which we can use common sense approaches to reduce the level of violence." Concerning the 14 of the 250 inmates at Guantanamo Bay who are classified as "high value," he called torture--it was not the Attorney General who actually used the T-word but the anchor--"one of the issues that we have to deal with" in deciding whether there are "triable cases."

"Way off the mark," was his characterization of Cheney's criticism of Barack Obama for "making choices that will raise the risk of another terrorist attack."
