mr thomas miller was not able to defend himself even if he could be present at the audience. any man presenting such depression pain and wounds wouldn't be able to endure such a stressful event even more so if the trial was a life or death decision. in two thousand and one thomas miller had been on death row for already fourteen years when his lawyer jim marcus finished his counter investigation which detailed the discrimination and irregular. artes of the trial. file was sent to the appeals court of texas. i thought we had so much evidence there is no way that we can. and then we basically was executed for late february twenty first two thousand and two. you know it was a sense of relief you know it's like all our bureaus exhausted we have a very left with some of the supreme court and you know live in order afterwards like. this it's like you know. in the beginning of two thousand and two this was the last chance the u.s. supreme court in washington is the highest in the land it is the only one capable of revoking a stiff made decision each year the supreme court's receives

mr. cal thomas. how much of every dollar should the rich pay?ey should pay more than 14% mitt romney pays. >> sean: this was paid corporate tax, income tax, and so it was probably at the 35% rate, then he puts that money at risk, invests, so businesses can hire people, and then they tax it again if he makes a profit. so this is the second bite of the government apple, correct, cal? >> the average american pays 20%, he. that's all you need to know. >> what we ought to be talking about how much the government wastes our money. those of us who go to church, we put money in the plate. we expect the church to spend it responsibly, to be good stewards of the money we donate. we're donating money to government. we got a $16 trillion debt. as ronald reagan said, we have a debt, not because the american people are taxed too little, it's because their government spends too much. >> sean: i'm analyzing mr. common ground, your partner over here. >> yes. >> sean: what he's really saying, cal, we've got a false narrative, it's 14%, it doesn't tell the whole s

thomas. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and the members of the panel, for the opportunity to testify today. first, i'll confirm the air force's continued support of secretary panetta's accelerated goal of achieving audit readiness in the sometime of budgetary resources by 2014 and for all financial statements by september 30th, 2017. the air force is faithfully committed to maintaining the public's trust in our stewardship of taxpayer dollars and developing a culture that values efficiency and resource stewardship. air force leaders have consistently emphasized the importance of all encompassing air force wide efforts, which as secretary panetta puts it, an all hands effort to successfully reach audit readiness by established deadlines. due to the commitment of leadership into the dedicated professals across the air force, we have made significant progress to-date. however, due to the enormity and complexity of the task before us, we view reaching the 20 # 14 and 2017 goals as having moderate risk. before going into the challenges of reaching the goal, however, i want to share with this pan

ad like this and to to try to bring up a narrative like this after down playing 47% you know, thomas, when mr. halperin write "game change" the sequel, that will have a chapter. that was a critical -- >> half the moe's already , ae they can go straight to the tape. >> the next opportunity that he has to turn thi around is a week from tonight and i'm agreeing with governor rendell that he needs to win that debate and if he doesn'win that kear error by the less and les president or some world event that doesn't bode well for his presidency. it becomes more difficult. i dot look at as if there's three debates. that's one dete. theppornity wilbeos . ovrendell was on "morning joe" today. >> if i were planning a presidential campaign, there's less than one. stay on course. don't get distracted by the eme of the day. all of the romney campaign seems to be doing is reacting to the theme of the day. >> the theme of the day. so keh, as w tal abo this, the romney camp seized on comments of the president, 14-year-d videotape they dredged up when president obama was a state senator in illinois pounding aw

mr. president. i'm joined now by thomas frank, and david catanese who is a reporter with political.com.id the un is meeting here in new york. i know that because you can't drive anywhere. it's gridlock alert every moment of the day, but the statements the president has made does it make the president a little bit vulnerable on foreign affairs which until now had been a strong suit for him. >> these are not the most el event comments the president has made. overall this doesn't his best interview. but i don't think this is sort of a game changer or doesn't rise to the level of the 47% comment that everyone was abscessed with last week around mitt romney because this campaign isn't being designed by foreign policy and most polls have shown obama has a nice cushion there, and i think because mitt romney has had his own fumbles, if he could show more competency on these other issues, the voters might give him he benefit of the doubt. in our own political, georgia washington survey today, you see the president expanding the lead. >> eliot: david was being nice he hasn't just fumbled the foot

diplomat thomas pickering. mrs.on is also visiting congress today hoping to beat back tea party pressure to cut foreign aid to libya and egypt in the wake of last week's protests and violence that we saw. conservative republicans are demanding the obama administration rethink it's financial support to libya, egypt and pakistan. you heard general keane saying perhaps they could consider conditioning the money, if not revoking it. republicans arguing they havet r commitments as partners to america. >>> new obstacles today for the prosecution in the trial of the suspected colorado shooter, james holmes. for now prosecutors are giving up their fight over what they call a critical piece of evidence in the trial of this man accused of one of the worst mass shootings in u.s. history. dan springer has the details live in centennial, colorado. dan? >> reporter: yeah, megyn. we were expecting a long day in court, but it was over in 90 minutes when, as you said, the prosecution surprisingly dropped its efforts to get their han
