how has he become the karl rove of this operation?> i don't know that i would call him the karl rove of this operation, but jeff miller is doing a great job managing a team of people who bring great skills and talents to governor perry's team as they consider this. he has no egos. he's very open and look to folks and has the governor's trust. >> is that why you would not call him another karl rove? >> right? he's just different from carl. carl is more of a political strategist. jeff is a guy who gets things done and who has put the right people in front of the governor. i would not so much call him the strategist, but he's the guy who is directing traffic and deserves a lot of credit for helping him thus far. >> tell me real quick who do you think is the most formidable potential candidate other than governor perry and how much of a problem is ted cruz in terms of donors if ted cruz does run? >> what is obvious is the republicans have a strong bench. if you look at states like wisconsin, where scott walker is from, they are having gre

. >> and karl rove joins us. nice to see you, karl. >> nice to see you. he got his nose bloodied, mr. gruber today. was anything achieved beyond that? >> well, it is part of what was achieved today is that the american people heard and saw him and it contributes to the dialogue in the debate. in a sense, this is a side show. he talked about the problem of transparency. the administration itself has a problem of transparency. this law was sold to the american people on a series of promises and pledges and explanations that are turning out not to be true and more importantly, the administration knew at the time they were not true. for example, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, the administration knew that the core of the affordable care act is is that most of the insurance coverage in america is deemed insufficient and you are going to lose your plan and have it replaced with a plan that washington tells you that they think is adequate for you. you like your doc, you can keep your doc, part of the affordable care act is we are going to get your

bush karl rove and fox news contributor. karl, great to have you here tonight.hat do you make of the "gallup poll"? >> well, traditionally in the aftermath of big swings like 2002, towards republicans, 2006 towards the democrats. 2010 towards the republicans. there tends to be a change in the partisan identification, the party that won the election becomes more popular. how long the popularity lasts depends how well they do in subsequent months. how well the republicans do in january, february, march and april could have a big impact determining whether the republicans go into the 2016 with a head of steam up or not. cheryl: you are the one who seems to me it's timing for the announcement. whether it's hillary clinton or jeb bush or chris christie, take a pick of the names, politico is reporting she's got cold feet. what do you make of that? >> i've always thought this is a more difficult decision than most people think. she'll be 69 in october of 2016, if she were to be elected and serve two terms, he would leave office at the age of 77. do you want to go throu

karl, are these just the same thing? >> in one sense they are because they have the, they have the same force but they are different. executive orders typically deal with high-level matters. memoranda are generally used by presidents for more routine actions. for example, setting up an inneragency task force to develop a response to a particular issue or to coordinate policy in a certain area. what's interesting about president obama's use of executive memorandums is that he has taken them from being routine matters to being major policy decisions. for example, he did not issue an executive order on immigration. he issued two executive memoranda. which is really unusual because again, the general use has been executive orders are big policy statements based in statute and authority of the president and memorandums have tended to be lower-level routine actions again based in statutory authority of the president. heather: you don't have to provide as much of a citation as i understand it with a memoranda as you do with an

karl penhaul joins us from london. karl, how is the rest of the world weighing in? the report has handed a propaganda coup to american's ideological foes. we received a statement from the russia foreign ministry. they are saying and they are accusing u.s. authorities of gross violation of human rights and saying the perpetrators must be brought to justice. we heard from china. saying the united states must respect international convent n conventio conventions. we heard iran accusing the cia of becoming the international symbol of humanity. the united nations should take action to censure the united states for the kinds of activities. all of these countries have something in common. appalling human rights records. the u.s. allies making comments. david cameron saying torture is wrong. what cameron did not spell out is he has something to lose. britain is accused of being complicit with the united states in the international aspects of the torture program. the former poland president, we know one of the black sites was based in poland. the polish president came out an

karl penhaul is live in london. cannot imagine they were hours from release and now finding out he is gone. >> reporter: absolutely, christi christine. there are details we have yet to learn about the operation and the planning of the best operation and the aspects of the operation were improvised. we hear from south africa from yolanda korkie. she was kidnapped by the same militants and freed in january after the charity gift forgivers mediated in the crisis. now at the moment, the message that she is sounding is one of forgiveness. she is taking this and saying we have to forgive otherwise we cannot move beyond this. at the same time as she is doing, forensic investigators are now doing a post mortem investigation on pierre korkie. that will perhaps give us the answers as to whether it was the al qaeda militants holding him that did in fact shoot him when they knew the rescue operation was going down or perhaps it will shed different light on this. perhaps he could be shot by a bullet in the crossfire. what we don

what are republicans doing, karl? well they, last night they basically funded the government for the balance of the fiscal year, except for the department of homeland security which they funded through february. and then in january and february, the house republicans are going to come back and try and rein in the president on his executive order on immigration by putting riders on the department of homeland security's funding bill. look, i think there is a wide consensus within the republicans, both in house and senate, this ought to be done. there is a difference over tactics. congressman salmon wanted to have the battle now. speaker boehner wants the battle in january. rather than having 45 republicans in the senate, there are 54. rather than having 234 republicans in the house, there are 245. and he thinks that that will not only mean a stron also means a greater likelihood that democrats will come along with them. bill: wow. >> very hard to see -- bill: you think that boehner's strategy will appease the conservati

karl, thanks. >>> new information about a high level terrorist the u.s.is concerns a bombmaker for al qaeda offshoot operating in syria. he appears very much alive this morning. cnn's barbara starr at the pentagon with more. >> reporter: john and christine, u.s. officials tell me they believe the key leader in the khorasan group is still alive after months of air strikes. a french bombmaker, david drugeon, a master bombmaker, they thought they killed him potentially in an earlier air strike. now officials have every reason to believe he is still alive. the concern about drugeon, he has the skills and knowledge on how to make bombs that can potentially bypass airport security measures. the fact he is still alive causes a good deal of concern to u.s. officials. they also believe the leader of the group, a man named fattli, also still alive after months of u.s. air strikes against the khorasan group. this is a group of hard core al qaeda operatives that move from pakistan to syria in last several years. it is a group that causes the u.s. a great deal of conc

cnn's karl penhaul live in london. karl, what's the global reaction be thus far?n, internationally, a lot of governments are keeping their heads down not to point the finger at the united states too much because were as we already know from leaks and findings in european courts that many other governments have been complicit with the united states helping to transport victims to countries with human rights records that they can be tortured with impunity in those countries. we have, however, heard from one of the united states' closest allies, british prm prime minister david cameron, this is what he had to say about torture. >> torture is wrong. torture is always wrong. those of hughes want to see a safer, more secure world, you want to see this extremism defeated we won't succeed if we lose our moral authority. >> cameron is in turkey right now. most will assume those comments were made for public consumption because the british government and its secret services certainly haven't allowed a any investigation as widespread as this u.s. investigation into its role

that's a chilling thought, wolf. >> and, karl, very quickly, i know you spent most of your time overre in europe. some u.s. officials who worked in these interrogation programs, cia officials, other officials from the justice department who signed off on it, they now say they're reluctant to go to spain or belgium or france or italy out of fear they could be arrested and charged with war crimes. is that really credible? >> well, there are a number of spanish judges who are very keen on trying to pursue these international human rights cases. but in britain, for example, there have been claims in the courts against the british government for their role in this cia torture program. those are still ongoing in british courts. it is a possibility. but what we can assume based on current behavior, both the u.s. government and the british government may try and block these kinds of international claims. and if you look at past experience as well, i'm referring to the cia's use of torture in central america in the 1980s, those techniques based onned manuals from vietnam in the 1960s, a lot o

good evening, karl. >> good evening, greta. >> karl, i don't know when you saw that editorial in the "the washington post" today about president obama and cuba but it an absolutely skewered him had. he bought the horse that cuba sold to spain in the vatican four years ago there's there was a specific reference to the vatican that he would free all political prisoners and he didn't. now he has made a big deal that he is letting 53 political prisoners out of jail. there are thousands in custody under restraint by the cuba regime and president obama is turning a blind eye to raoul castro and a the castro brothers and their policies and assuming that by caving in, giving them what we want. what they want they will give us what we want. but that has never -- that doesn't happen with regimes like this. >> well, in fact, that's what the editorial point out o. they use words in describing the president's foreign policy as naive. and this is an editorial board that had endorsed him twice. very friendly toward him. one thing to sort of expect the republicans to come out and hit them over the h
