billion dollar commodity with 800 million users. it's come to define the worldwide web. so for those who say america doesn't know how to create jobs, i answer with one word, facebook. thank you for suze orman, to my audience, and thank you at home. fascinating show. now, here's is "ac 360." >> thank you. 10:00, everyone, here on the east coast. we begin keeping them honest with new developments in the story we have been following from the start. this is around the controversy following haley barbour who on his way out of office pardoned 200 people, including this four killers. the judge has blocked the pardons, but not before these men were set free, set free from the governor's mansion where under a suspended program, nay

worked for the governor and worked on the governor, winning his trust, playing on his sympathy, even though some of their crimes are horrific, governor barbour remains unable to answer questions. his office issued a statement. when he has spoken about this, not on this program, the governor has suggested that these men committed, quote, crimes of passion, and experts say such killers are the least likely to reoffend. we have shown you he's wrong on both counts. this man, joseph osment, he shot a clerk three times on his way into the convenience store he was robbing. on his way out, he shot the clerk twice more as he was begging for his life. he got away with about $60. osment was spared a possible death sentence and he ratted out his partner in the deadly robbery. this is not a crime of passion. david gatlin acted alone when he shot and killed his estranged wife tammy and badly wounded her

friend randy walker. tam tammy's mother said he relentlessly stalked her. and she was holding on to the baby when she was shot. doesn't sound like a crime of passion. stalking and then killing and then trying to eliminate the witness. >> i think he was a barbaric individual that can senselessly cold blooded shoot someone like that, especially holding his child. his own child. and him leave that child laying on the floor, not to at least pick him up and take him with him. this individual is not where he belongs. >> you think he's still dangerous? >> think he's very dangerous. >> and he's free. next week, he and the others are expected in court where the legality of the pardons will be argued. we have been unable to get barbour to come on the show. he did appear on john king.

during the interview, he played a clip of tammy gatlin's sister and mother. they were outraged at the governor's decision to pardon him. >> he's in jail for 18 years. she was 20 years old when she died and had her child laying in her arms when he shot her in her head. and he's pardoned. >> governor barbour going to pardon us for our aches and pains and the heartache we have to suffer? is he going to pardon a child that has to grow up without a mother? >> what do you have to say to them? >> the family actually came, that was two years ago. because they understood that if any of these men, including that one, successfully served at the mansion, they had been serving almost 20 years on average, they serve 20 years, and if they successfully completed, they would be pardoned.

>> you heard governor barbour say there, he claims his office met with betty and tiffany ellis brewer. keeping thel honest, we asked if it was true. >> governor barbour claims his lawyers met with your family two years before david gatlin's release. is that true? >> no. that's absolutely false. we have had no contact with the governor or his lawyers, any of his people. no one has made an attempt to contact us. >> betty, when you hear the governor refer to this as a crime of passion, what goes through your mind? >> rage. i mean, this is not a crime of passion when somebody rents a car in georgia, buys a gun, drives to mississippi, stalks my daughter, and then shoots her. i don't believe that is a crime of passion. >> so randy walker, the man

david gatlin wounded, he fears for his life now. he's going to join us shortly. the closer we look, the worse this gets. when the state parole board last reviewed david gatlin's case, they voted against releasing him. that was late 2010. gatlin was already working at the governor's mansion, and the parole board still recommended he not go free. but the governor disregarded that and pardoned him anyway. all that happened with no consultation or notification to the dead victim's family. nothing either for randy walker, the wounded man. when we learned that gatlin was going to the mansion, he and his wife tried repeatedly to meet with someone, anyone with the power to stop him from being able to work in the governor's mansion. they finally got the meeting but only after gatlin was placed at the mansion. governor barbour's office sent a state about how that happened. quote, this process was solely at the discretion of the department of corrections and the department of public safety, not the governor.

the governor had no role whatsoever in decided who serves as a trustee at the mansion nor did he have any personal knowledge of the men mdoc sent to work. >> what about the decision about who gets out of the mapgz, who gets freed, who gets pardoned? considering gatlin's pardon, did he know about the parole denial that happened while gatlin was serving him in the mansion. get this, only if the governor asks them to. did he ask? we don't know. and he's not talking. joining me now is randy walker who was shot and nearly killed by david gatlin. also joining us is jeffrey toobin. >> how did you find out that gatlin was serving as a trustee in the governor's mansion. >> i have never been contacted by the mdoc or anybody about that. the way we found out was a website for the department of corrections in mississippi. you can look opan inmate by last

name or number, and i kaunconsty kept a check on him. there for a while, he was being transferred around between different facilities, and it was quite a shock when i saw in november of 2009 he became a trustee at the governor's mansion. >> you knew that he was a trustee at the governor's mansion. you knew that was a road to getting pardoned as other killers have in the past. did you try to contact theme, tell them he shouldn't be working at the governor's mansion? >> we tried to plead our case. when i found out in november, we tried for about four months before we got a meeting with lucien smith, one of haley barbour's legal adviser. it was pretty much a pat you on the back meeting, listened to what we said, said, yeah, that's not going to happen. he's a trustee, live with it. that was pretty much their attitude.

since then, we have written numerous letters, around 20 phone calls, just really being relentless, and we have not had any more contact with him. you know, we think that if we could have gotten to haley barbour for a few minutes and pled our case, as david obviously pled his case for two years, i just needed five minutes, we thought we could change the outcome on this, but we never got that opportunity. >> you know what the governor is saying, this was a crime of passion. and that because of the so-called crime of passion, according to the governor, experts say he's not likely to do something like that again. we found no experts who say that. in fact, experts say that's silly and an antiquated notion. to you, was this a crime of passion when he pointed the gun and shot you? when he shot the woman you were friends with? clutching her baby? >> absolutely not. i mean, you know, if you take that a little further back on the timeline, three or four days

before david came, he actually told a girlfriend that he was involved with in georgia that high was coming to do this very thing, and she would have been subpoenas to show up in court to testify to that. so he told somebody before he even left georgia. if you look at his statement, his own words at the time he wrote his confession out, he pretty much point blank said, it's premeditated. a crime of passion for me is if you come home, if a spouse comes home early from lunch or a business trip, unexpected and walked in and catch them in bed with smbld and you bead them to death with a lamp on the side of the bed. haley barbour, his definition and mine of crime of passion, they're not in the same dictionary. >> the fact that while this guy gatlin was working at the mansion, his parole was denied, that tells you a lot. >> it tellsia a lot. the united states department of justice has the office of the pardon attorney. and there are very elaborate public procedures for applying

for a pardon from the united states government. and it's very complicated, and it takes a long time, and they have to consult the prosecutors and the victims, and i think they probably give too few pardons, but they avoid this problem because there's a system in place where everyone gets a chance to be heard. haley barbour decided on his own without input from anybody except the people applying for the pardons, and this is the result you get. >> randy, did anyone in the governor's office tell you gatlin was being pardoned? >> well, the saturday -- i got the letter that said he had been declined parole on friday. i forget the date, like the 5th, i think. and then -- might have been the 6th. whatever the friday was before the 6th. that's on friday, and then saturday, about 10:00, i get a phone call from a lady at the corrections department, that said he had been unconditionally

pardoned and would be released sunday. i get this letter and not 24 hours later, i get a phone call saying the worst possible thing has happened. i didn't get a say in anything. i didn't get to plead by case about anything. my rights have been violated. >> does it seem odd to you, jeff, the pardon files that would normally contain letters and other documents about this process, they don't exist for the trusties who work in the k governor's mansion. >> it's more odd when they're not any old criminals, they were murderers. these are the people you want to take extra care, not just rely on their good work and the fact that they appeared to have done a good job around the governor's mands. you want to take extra care because you don't want to relee murders lightly. there were no procedures. this is just haley barbour making up his mind, and these are the consequences. >> remiend our viewers how many

years gatlin was sentenced to, because he avoided the death penalty, how many he was sentenced and to and how many he served. >> he was originally charged with capital murder which would have carried a death sentence, and close to the end, we were getting ready to go to trial. trial was the same week he pled guilty to simple murder, a lesser charge, and got a life sentence on that. and consecutive to that, he pled guilty to aggravated assault, which was 20 years on that, and consecutive to that, burglary, i read it life plus 20 years, and he did 17 years two months and 30 days. >> and two years in the governor's mansion. >> he has never been a behind bars inmate. from the first time i started seeing him on the website when i started following his case, he's always pretty much been a trustee. so, you know, he's never really

been what i consider to be incarcerated. >> randy walker, i'm sorry you're in this position where you have to talk about this. this shouldn't be the case. i appreciate you talking about it and we'll continue to follow it. >> thank you for having me, mr. cooper. >> jeff, thank you very much. we're going to continue to follow the case, follow us on google, facebook, let me know what you think about this case. up next, what are the keys to victory for the four candidates? john king crunches the numbers. ari and james join us. we're looking at the headline making statement that mitt romney made today. was it taken out of context? >> later, one young survivor of the florida highway tragedy. she lost her family, but there's another demedication to the story no one saw coming. we're at work providing power to almost a quarter of our homes and businesses...

politics now. what happens next of romney's crushing victory in florida. newt gingrich has vowed to fight until the end, and the other two have no signs of getting out, either. now the road lies west. let's check in with john king. john? >> we begin february with a map that should favor romney. i say should because there are mine fields. saturday in nevada is next. a caucus state.

romney won it in 2008. watch ron paul. sometimes caucus rules passion can beat organization. that's one place to watch. then next tuesday, colorado, missouri. romney favored in all these places. quirky caucus rules. watch colorado. watch minnesota. santorum and paul looking to spring a surprise. also watch missouri. a beauty contest. no delegates at stake. speaker gingrich is here. he didn't make the ballot. if he wanted to plant a symbolic comeback flag, that would have been a good state. the main caucuses watch up here. romney is a new englander, should be his state. ron paul working hard. it could be a ron paul win. on february 11th in maine. these are the prizes of the month, michigan and arizona. both wired at the moment of establishment romney states. he was born in michigan. they look good for him. we'll have to see if the situation looks the same at the end of the month. say we go that far and gingrich doesn't have a victory. march 3rd, watch ron paul and

mitt romney competed in the washington caucuses. why did speaker gingrich say he would stay in the race? super tuesday. maench 6th. in tennessee, he's on the ballot. some delegates not on the ballot at all in virginia. that's a place newt gingrich could have had as part of the comeback strategy. he thinks he'll win georgia and oklahoma. it's why he stays in until march. this could be a factor. if gingrich and nobody else gets wins, romney is raising more money after florida. no one else is close. they have raised some money since, but they're also spending it as the calendar gets more crowded. >> thanks. the victory lap interrupted today. he stumbled a built over something he said. he was talking this morning to soledad o'brien. >> i'm in this race because i care about americans. i'm not concerned about the very poor. we have a safety net there. if it needs repair, i'll fix it. i'm not concerned about the very rich, they are doing fine. i'm concerned about the heart of america, the 99% of americans who are struggling.

i'll continue to take that message across the nation. >> the headline went on a lot of blogs. a lot of news sites, he said he's not concerned about the very poor, which prompted the governor to try to clarify what he said. >> you've got to take the whole sentence. that sounds different. i have said throughout the campaign, i focus my concern. my energy devoted to the people. we have a safety net for the poor in the country. if there are holes in it, i will work to repair that. there are people falling through the cracks, i want to fix that. >> we think it's fair to show context of things. you can make up your mind if that clarifies it. the fact he spent a campaign day dealing with the fallout is something itself. ari fleischer joins us on the phone, and democratic strategist, james carville. is it fair for the headline to have been all around over what

romney said? >> it was an eruption among conservatives in the national review. i saw three or four comments. people came out. it was just a really -- it's not just a very good candidate. by the way, he doesn't understand conservative doctrine. i live with it in my house. they say their care about the poor, and these programs hurt the poor. not only does it come across as voters in the middle, it's callous. that's after saying corporations are rich people. to conservatives, it's dumb and doesn't represent what they say. >> ari, what is your take? >> it shows you why politicians are politicians. and they have to be perfect and wach their word. everyone knows that was a mistaken statement. people have heard them talk about how he wants to focus on the middle class. they need the most help in this country. it's an accurate statement. it was a slip. he shouldn't have done it. i'm going to pount out,

president obama had his own slip that i thought was bad this week, too. he was introduced to jennifer's husband. was seeking a job, and he couldn't understand how her husband couldn't get a job, how there could be unemployment in the factory he was working in. romney had a slip of the tongue. president obama doesn't understand how bad the economy is. >> james? >> mitt romney is just not a very good candidate. i said that before. yeah, if he outspent somebody 5-1 and dumps 95% spots on the ad, he's going to win a primary, be a nominee. and ari knows i said there's zero chance of gingrich or santorum getting close to a nomination. but he's cascaring a lot of republicans. did he actually mean that? a slip of the tongue? he has a lot of slips of the tongue. these are the kinds of things that scare people. that's a problem he has.

i don't think his campaign can trust him on his own. he's okay if he's scripted and 5 to 1 money, but he's not going to have all that. >> let's talk about what happened last night. you have 24 hours distance on it. how do you look at his victory? >> if you step back, i really think you have to give mitt romney increasing credit. he won 2 1/2, 2 3/4 of the primary so far. he lost votes as they came in in iowa. huge win in new hampshire and florida in terms of the percentage margin over the number two finisher. most republican candidates don't have that kind of big gap between them and second place finisher. february is a strong month for him. he is in a very well positioned place. he has problems with the conservative base. he hasn't satisfied the base, yet. but you know what, independents seem to like him. he's running neck in neck with president obama. no other candidate is running that close to president obama.

he's neck and neck. >> he made inroads with tea party voters and evangelicals. >> he's not running against anybody. none of these people and i have been consistent on this, never had a chance to be nominee. barring some kind of breakdown if he can't get to 50, which is almost impossible to see now, he's going to be the nominee. the problem romney has is he's not that good a candidate. the guy is not good on his feet. politically, he comes across as a detached doofus. that's the kind of thing -- i said politically. showing he's a bright guy. politically, he's out of it sometimes. >> this is where james has a short memory. this is why politics are so tough. four years ago, barack obama thought no one was listening and said blue collar voters cling to their guns. and cling to their religion. and james worked for hillary at

the time. barack obama has his share of mistakes and steps. i wouldn't say that romney is sabad candidate. he's what every candidate is, someone who made a mistake. and the test of a campaign, do you learn from it, go on, and do better? >> first of all, i never worked for hillary. secondly, he paid a price for that. he paid a price for that. romney -- you look at the comments today among conservatives. look at the concern. he always conforms. he has a stereotype whether it's accurate or not that he's kind of out of touch guy. that's why i said politically he comes across as a detached gogoo doofs. this comment today feeds that. he's not able to deal with it. he's not that good on his feet. obama is not the greatest candidate ever. he paid a price for that. there's no question about that. romney is going to pay a price again and again. it fits the existing suspicion.

>> ari, james, thanks very mech. an alarming morning about iran. what u.s. intelligence officials told congress. what the white house is prepared to do about it. >> also tonight, remember the crash involving more than a dozen cars and trucks. a florida teen who survived the horrific crash lost her family and her story took another frightening twist. we'll explain. this is an rc robotic claw.

a "360" follow-up about the horrible multivehicle crash on i-75 in florida on sunday. an 11th body was found inside a truck pulled from the wreckage. one of the survivors was a 15-year-old girl named lidia lidiane carmo. her family perished in the crash. she was hospitalized, told about her family, and then questions were raised utwhat happened to her when she recovers. her and her family were in the country illegally. they are originally from brazil. there's word on her status. martin joins us with that part of the story, martin? >> here is the way it broke down. they came here illegally on a visa 12 years ago, but it expired.

there was concern that she might be deported. the federal government stepped in and said absolutely not. it's not going to happen. i.c.e. released this statement saying our thoughts and prayers are with her as she deals with the tragic loss of her family. reports of her facing deportration are completely false. they go on to say ice stated priorities include criminals, immigration fugitives, and recent border crossers. there you have it. no prosecution, no deportation. >> you were able to speak with a pastor who spoke to family members when she heard the news about the accident. how is she doing? >> she does not have any memory of the accident. so, she was told yesterday what happened to her family. we talked to aaryn, a close family friend. here is how he described how they told her. >> she waked up. the first thing she was looking for was laticia, her older sister, mom, dad.

where is mom, dad? what happened? so, they explained to her what happened. she's simply cried a little. we know she's trying to process everything. but, she's doing well so far. >> 15 years old. to lose your parents, your sister like that. have we learned anything more about what she'll be facing? any challenges? >> she has a lot of challenges still ahead of her. first and foremost, she has to heal. she has a lot of broken bones, burns. probably going to need surgery. she has no health insurance. money is a factor. five members in the vehicle, they all died. the church does not have the money to transport the bodies back here to atlanta where they live. let alone carry out the funerals. there's a lot of suffering going on. and the church is so small, they say, they don't even have room for all the caskets that would be there when the funeral is

eventually held there. they are looking for a place to hold the church p and to help with money. >> martin, appreciate it. there is an account set up with the bank of america, called the carmo family funeral fund. they'll assist you. again, the carmo family funeral fund. here is iesha with a 360 bulletin. >> the united states wants to end their combat mission in afghanistan next year. leon panetta made the announcement today. by late 2013, he hopes the mission will shift in training and advisory role. in syria, at least 70 people were killed today. this, a day after the u.n. security counsel failed to agree on a draft resolution calling for president assad to step down. in new jersey, a police dashcam video captured a police car in flames. they found a 57-year-old man trapped inside. what you can't see is an officer risking her life to pull him free. the man suffered smoke

inhalation. the officer, an 8-year veteran, was uninjured. the earliest known copy of mona lisa was hidden beneath layers of another painting. officials at a museum in madrid believed one of his students painted the newly found copy alongside the master himself while he was creating his masterpiece. >> amazing. yellow lab helps out with paperwork at a veterinary hospital in texas. she trained him to get paper off the printer, he also delivers receipts to clients. >> i know. that is very cool. you have to admit. >> very sweet dog. >> a very, very sweet dog. >> what is that? wow, look at that. >> this is getting troubling. >> wow. >> and looking pretty cool

digging deeper tonight, high ranking intelligence officials are sounding new and alarming warning.

they testified that iran is prepared to launch terrorist attacks inside the united states. we need to point out they also said they have seen no intelligence to indicate iran is actively plotting attacks on u.s. soil. iran's involvement in a botched attack on u.s. soil signals a shift in their boldness. and that, what's been a decades long feud set on simmer is on the verge of quickly moving to a boil. here is what leon panetta told cbs 60 minutes. >> in the united states, the president made this clear, does not want iran to develop nuclear weapons. that's a red line for us and it's a red line for the israelis. we share a common goal here. if we have to do it, we will do it. >> what is it? >> if they proceed and we get intelligence of them developing a nuclear weapon, we will take whatever steps are necessary to stop it.

>> including military steps? >> there are no options off the table. >> we were surprised to hear how far he thinks iran has come. >> consensus is that if they decided to do it, it would probably take them about a year to produce a bomb and possibly another one to two years in order to put it on a deliverable vehicle of some sort to deliver that weapon. >> if we have to do it, we will do it. that's what panetta said. let's dig deeper with fran townsend. along with more than 100 members of congress and national security officials, have publicly advocated that they take them off the state department's list of terror groups as the european grunion s already done. also joining me is kareem with the international peace. what do you make of the

likelihood, fran that iran may be willing to attempt an attack in the united states? >> that is a shift, anderson. remember, hezbollah, iran using hezbollah in the '80s. they attack cultural sites in buenos aires. they tend to not to want to plan and plot attacks in the united states. we believed they feared retaliation. the plot against the ambassador was a shift. intelligence officials and law enforcement officials are taking it seriously they would plan such an audacious attack. >> there are going to be some people listening saying this is just an excuse to provoke fear in the united states or for a drum beat -- building a drum beat against iran. do you buy they might be willing to plot attacks? >> i'm skeptical the iranian regime after 32 years of not committing acts on u.s. soil has now changed their calculations. the iranian supreme leader may

be ruthless, but he's not osama bin laden. if they were to commit an act of terror on the united states, we know where their return address is. it would be in tehran. he's not hiding out in a cave somewhere. and afghanistan, what is paramount for the leader is to stay in power. if they commit an act of terror on the united states, he's gambling with his own life. and the life of the regime itself. >> it behooves them for the status quo. >> okay, maybe, but it's interesting. to say he's not osama bin laden, i understand that point. iran is the single largest state sponsor of a terrorist organization in the world. they use hezbollah as an arm to execute their foreign policy. they are a terrorist group, very much in the making of al qaeda. in fact, prior to 9/11, they are understood to be worldwide more

militarily capable and more deployed worldwide than any other terrorist organization including al qaeda. this is a very, very serious organization with very real capability that we ought to be concerned about. >> if they have done operations through hezbollah and if they were involved in a plot against the saudi ambassador of the united states, does that not argue against your position? >> certainly the iranian regime is committing acts of terror beyond their borders since the 1979 revolution. we are not here to debate the ruthless regime. they do it in places where they think they can get away with it. they did it a lot in the 1990s in europe and argentina, sometimes in the arab world. they haven't committed a major act of terrorism in their 32 years of existence, now 33 years of existence against the united states. my line is that it's homicidal

toward its own population, but not suicidal. they want to stay in power. >> did it surprise you to hear secretary panetta give the time line and what the u.s. perception of it is? also the line that nothing is off the table, that's nothing new. >> the fact that secretary panetta said we will take action if we have to was not surprising. i think it's very much in keeping with what president obama said. he's made clear iran getting nuclear capability is unacceptable. what is surprising is the specifics with which he laid out a time line to iran including a nuclear weapon. one year for a bomb, two to three years before you have a deliverable vehicle. what he's talking about there is it's one thing to have enough enriched uranium. another thing, you have to deliver it on target and have missile technology. this sunday in the new york times there was an extensive

piece about israel versus iran. and iran's growing nuclear capability. the surprising thing to hear somebody with access to classified information laying out a time line. >> how tough would a strike against iran be, to try to cripple, is that possible? their sites are hardened and spread out. it's not like bombing iraq with saddam hussein. >> according to many israeli estimates, they could set back iran's nuclear clock, one, two, maybe three years. the concern many of us have is that if israel or the united states were to take military action against iran it could prolong the shelf life of the iranian regime a decade longer. when you measure it in terms of cost benefits, the costs are high. both in terms of the domestic repercussions in iran and globally in terms of the oil

skyrocketing and iran's ability to retaliate throughout the middle east. when i talked to members of congress, whether democrats or republican, there's a universal consensus that americans want to reduce our entanglements, military entanglements in the middle east. bombing iran would prolong the entanglements. >> we have to leave it there. fran, appreciate you being on. karim, thank you as well. a look back at the impact don cornelius had with his show "soul train." longest syndicated show in history. also, incredible images of pandemonium and violence breaking out following a soccer match in egypt. dozens killed. more on that ahead. evevilil p pririncncee bobollllywywoooodd 3-3-dd shsharark k atattatack nened d ththe e hehead 5%5% c casashbhbacackk ririghght t nonow,w, g getet 5 k onon m movovieies.s. itit p payays s toto d di. and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy.
