Fareed Zakaaria's GPS program aired an interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today:
I could not find a way to upload the interview clip (1min16sec,) but you can see it HERE
I transcribed the interview snippet:
FZ: The UN Commissioner, High Commissioner for Human Rights, says that Israel may have committed war crimes in Gaza, essentially talking about the fact, I think, that 75% of the casualties have been civilians. Do you think that the Israelis have used excessive force?
HRC: Well, I don't agree with that assessment about alleging war crimes, I think that the Israelis are in a very difficult position. Hamas we know, embeds missles, embeds command and control units in civilian areas. Now some of that is just the geography, the very small area, very densely populated, but some of that is a very deliberate choice by Hamas and I believe that between the warnings that Israelis give, sometimes as far ahead as four hours, so that people can be moved, so the Israelis very deliberate efforts to avoid civilian casualties, I do not think that that is an accurate and fair characterization of what the Israelis are trying to do. Now, having said that, too many people have died and too many of them are clearly innocent civiilans, even children. The Israelis know that."
See my earlier diary,

From that earlier diary, H/T tgrshark13 for bringing this to my attention:
Hilary Clinton was just on Fareed Zakarai's GPS
on CNN. She couldn't stop defending Israel and blaming Hamas and pretty much everyone else.
I guess at least this is one area where there is bipartisanship. /snark
