I was listening to the show taped on my dvr tonight and i noticed what sounded to be an explosion when Timmy was talking to Ambassador Crocker in Iraq. It happens during this question.
here is the audio (

MR. RUSSERT: But isn’t the Maliki government upset with us for, for providing arms and munitions to Sunnis, who they believe are the enemy of their government?
AMB. CROCKER: With respect to the dealing with those in Sunni areas who have decided that al-Qaeda is the enemy and wish to support us and the Iraqi government, in Anbar, we’ve seen a tremendous shift. And there, of course, the strategy is that these tribes are not going to operate independently, they’re forming into what are called provisional police units that are going to be linked to the central government of Iraq, both for organizational and for payroll purposes.
Now, it is an issue of concern, and the
(Distant rumbel) Iraqis are right to focus on it. As one moves to other areas,
10:36 (explosion) different conditions may dominate, and they and we will have to look very carefully at who we might be dealing with. The prime minister has ordered the formation of a—of a committee that will be chaired by a senior Iraqi government official. It’s kind of going to look at these issues as they emerge, so there’s a kind of a careful, coordinated process of evaluating what we’re dealing with before we move too far down the road.
