. >> mr. hood, can i ask about the provision requiring publication in a newspaper of application for a pardon 30 days before the pardon is granted. in your experience has this ever been done, in earlier pardons, earlier in haley barbour's term or previous governors, had this been honored,this requirement to publish news of application for the pardon? >> yes. i mean, when you apply, parole board sends a packet telling the lawyer, whomever wrote the lawyer for you, what you have to do. many of them have followed it, and in fact, you know, just two years ago because of some of governor barbour's actions, we had to pass legislation requiring him to give notice to the victim and an opportunity to be heard before he issued a pardon. so we passed a law and he signed it, he completely violated that. he never sent information to victims and gave them a chance to respond. so it is apparently something that there again, he tried to rule the state like boss hog and he didn't think the law applied to him. certa

ed just heard the attorney general mr. hood there saying they're missing records. what's the significance? >> reporter: well, there's a couple of different things going on here, john. one of them and what the a.g. here in mississippi is trying to convince a judge of is that these pardons didn't follow the constitution of this state, and that is that these pardons needed to have been announced in various newspapers or wherever for 30 days leading up to the pardons. the a.g. says that did not happen in the vast majority of these cases. perhaps there is some information in the paperwork that would help bolster the a.g.'s case. the other thing too here and is what many victims' families want to know is to get a better understanding of what governor halee barbour was thinking. were some of these people turned down for parole? was he advised against releasing some of these people? some of that background information that many people feel they want to see to help them understand the decision process in releasing many of these people, four of which included murderers that

. >> mr. hood, i wonder if i could just ask you a question about this provision requiring publication of the application for a pardon 30 days before the pardon is granted. in your experience, has this ever been done? in the earlier pardons, earlier in barber's term, had this been honored, this requirement to publish application for the part? >> yes, i mean, there's, you know, when you apply, the prohort sense you a packet what you have to do. and many of them have followed it. and, in fact, just two yores ago, because of some of governor barber's actions, we had to pass legislation requiring him to give noes to the victim and an opportunity to be heard before he issued a pardon. so we passed a law and he signed it. he completely violated that. he never sent any information to these victims and gave them a chance to respond. it's just apparently something that they're, again, he's trying to rule the state like boss hog and he didn't think the rule applied to him. >> attorney general, a lot of folks

hood's son to leave the country. he works for a washington- backed group. officials say they are investigating foreign influences on the road including mr. > sam la hood says it's kind of scary to be facing charges in egypt working for an unregistered nongovernmental organization and the transportation secretary's son now says he might be stuck in egypt for a long time. >> if it does go to trial and the trial can last up to one year in a case that's as wide ranging as this one but the penalty for that is six months to five years in jail. republican congressman frank wolf has been calling for the u.s. to stop aid to egypt because he is saying they are not laying the ground work for a freer society which congress said they had to do in a recent appropriations bill. wolf said that these recent actions by the egyptian government are a clear violation of the ground rules that the congress has laid up. if similar assault on civil sea sitey and religious freedom occur in the future, aid should be definitely halted. egypt's million tri alone gets $1.3 billion from the u.s. and they say they have been put on notice. >> those are decisions that are

. >> yes, mr. hood i believe is his name, he's a democrat challenging him. grants more than 200 as he's walking out the door. not to morph into the political area. bill: that's all right. what is your hunch in. >> first of all it's very, very puzzling. second of all, i mean is he trying to perhaps mask one particular pardon? i'm not accusing him of that. bill: if that were the case you just take one case. >> yeah you look at it through-and-through. by the way his immediate predecessor issued one pardon and the predecessor before that four. bill: barbour has been a little quiet this week. here is a statement that came out last week. the pardons were intended to allow them to find gainful employment or acquire professional licenses as well as hunt and vote. my decision about clemency was based upon the recommendation of the parole board in more than 90% of the cases. he's saying people came to him with evidence and he followed their lead. >> as joey and i know from day-to-day law practices there are collateral consequences of a criminal conviction. you can't g

hood. reporters caught up with the secretary earlier today. >> mr. la hood. any comments about your son? >> he is safe. thank god. >> shepard: safe, but still stuck in egypt. no word on when he or his co-workers can come back home. of course, it's worth noting washington has about a billion dollars worth of leverage because that's roughly the amount the united states send to egypt each year in aid. catherine hanch with the news she is live in d.c. tonight. american officials say they do not believe that these people who can't leave are in any real danger. >> that's right, shep. according to the state department, the americans are being persecuted by egyptian authorities because they work for these groups that promote democracy. it sounds like the talks may be stalled. >> suffice to say we are not where we want to be in terms of resolving this situation. and the conversations continue with the egyptian government. >> what's key here is that the u.s. embassy in cairo is sovereign u.s. territory it does limit the ability of egyptian authorities to detain or arrest these americans. when push

smith: i yield to mr. hood. -- >> this is something that has affected my family, my life, i think we've all known somebody who has had an abortion, whether they force -- felt forced into it or made that choice, every single one of them, i know, has regretted that. this issue of life became very personal for my wife and i as we had to move forward through troubled pregnancies and losing a number, quite a few pregnancies and struggling with that whole notion of what is life? what does that mean, to have that life growing in you? we firmly came down on the side of this being a gift from god, that create that happens and that's something that we want to protect. i can tell you that therd-working taxpayers don't expect their -- the hardworking taxpayers don't expect their dollars to go for procedures like this, an that's something the house has continued to fight for. my wife serves on the board of an pregnancy counseling center holds this dear. we'll continue to hold that dear as long as i'm here in congress. mr. s

mr. gingrich signed the so-called person hood pledge also signed by rick perry. both of them no longer make. life begins at conception and therefore it is a person at conception. they do continue to make exceptions for the life of the mother but only after all possible medical alternatives have been sought after. so, it is a change. but one that is consistent with his signing of that person hood pledge, shep? >> shepard: carl, last week newt gingrich broke down while talking about his mother. today, rick perry got a bit emotional, it appeared. >> he did. he was talking about veterans and you saw him wipe away a tear. it's the second time it actually happened today. mr. perry getting emotional. he, of course, is an air force veteran and today showing a little bit of a softer side of himself. may be something of a consequence how brutal the campaign has been all getting emotionally frayed. they will have a couple hours and then get saddled back up on their horses for new hampshire and south carolina. it's worth noting, shep, this is just the starting line. statisti
