Couric didn't question Giuliani's assertion that "Iran is moving toward" obtaining "nuclear weapons"
http://mediamatters.org/items/200712130010?f=h_latest

Summary: Responding to a question from CBS' Katie Couric, Rudy Giuliani asserted that "Iran is moving toward accomplishing the worst nightmare of the Cold War -- nuclear weapons in the hands of an irresponsible regime. And then they're threatening the use of these weapons." Although the most recent National Intelligence Estimate on Iran concluded with "high confidence" that Iran had "halt{ed}" its nuclear weapons program in 2003, Couric did not challenge Giuliani's assertion or ask him a follow-up question about his answer.

1. Couric did not challenge him because Couric is not a journalist
She's just a fluffy, talking head.

8. Couric is not a journalist.
She might have been one once a long time ago, she sure isn't one now. Did she ask about Tailgate?
