Gov. Pawlenty appeared on Laura Ingraham's show yesterday and discussed a wide range of issues.
Pawlenty said "Yeah, we got a problem" when asked if Minnesota has an "Al Qaeda problem in Minnesota" because of the indictments of 8 Somali Minnesotans who went to fight in Somalia.
Pawlenty also discussed the situation regarding former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's decision to grant clemency to a person who allegedly shot and killed several police officers in Washington. Pawlenty said he never granted clemency during his time as governor and would not have granted clemency to the alleged shooter in Washington.
He also said he's not concerned about a recent poll in the Washington Post and defended his position on global warming.

Update: Huckabee pushes back.
