along with you susan wrath. a lot of questions, i have asked them myself about why dna is taking so long to be returned and now i'm starting to think that, first of all, we know police had staked out clark's place. for a couple of days now. their presence has been very obvious. i'm wondering if they were hoping to get his dna on their own, such as out of his trash, on a coca-cola bottle or some manner from his toothbrush, i don't know, somehow get it independently and ultimately they took him in with a warrant to get his dna? >> that could be, nancy, unlike you, i'm not skeptical about the extra days. the police department has been very methodical, they have collected over 200 pieces of evidence. they have botched investigations over the years, and now i'm very impressed at how the investigation is going and i think you're not going to be concerned at the end about the length of time of the dna, we're talking just a couple of days and they have said that they have had this man in their sights every minute, and s

susan wrath, are you with me? i've lost audio with susan. paul bass, what do we know?hink i've got paul bass. okay. satellite down. back to you. mickey sherman, there are reports his arms have scratches on them. now, friends and family explained that away by saying that one of the three cats did that to him. we know that they found bloody clothes in the building, hidden up in the ceiling tiles. so if they were looking under his fingernails, if they were observing the scratches on his arms, that may have explained why they handcuffed him. i have never seen that done before with anybody but a suspect. >> and obviously he's under close surveillance. i assume they have got a 24/7 guard or surveillance group at his home or wherever he's staying. you know, it's not his finger tips they're going to account, it's hers. because that's where the scratches most obviously came from. this is a forensics case. whatever's under her fingernails, if it's his skin, game over. >> 24-year-old raymond clark, a technician who worked in the same yale lab building as annie le was taken from h

frank gaffney says we should be fighting sharia, susan paige, on the show tonight.s that a creed for the american people? would they rally around the flag on that one? >> you know, i think the american people would rally around the idea of fighting terrorism in afghanistan because it remains a threat to americans, especially even americans here within the boundaries of the united states. but i think it's -- i think -- one reason it makes it so hard is that it puts president obama really at odds with his -- his base wants us to get out of afghanistan. it's the opposition that has been supportive by and large of the war there. that makes it more complicated. this was an issue that gave barack obama some credentials as a potential commander in chief. >> i know. >> when he was running for president. a turn is going to be something hard to do. either course is a difficult course for him to take. >> thank you very much, clarence page and susan paisan page. join us tomorrow night for more "hardball." we will be joined by jim traficant, who has just been released from priso
