wild animal preserve. deputies shot and killed at least two dozen them overnight. i had deputies that had to shoot animals with their side arms at close range. that s how volatile this situation was. when we got here, obviously, po public safety way my number one concern bp i gave the order if animals looked like they going out they were going down. we could not have wild animals. also, the man who other thanned the animal preserve, terry thompson, was found dead outside his home. zanesville s mayor tells cnn thompson freed the animals and then shot himself. texas governor rick perry, well, he kind of sported a new aggressive style at last night s cnn debate in las vegas. perry s poll numbers have tumbled after some pretty uninspiring performances in previous debates, this time he repeatedly jabbed his chief rival mitt romney on jobs, health care and illegal immigration, and romney fired back. i m speaking the new i m speaking. the newspaper you get 30 s
that the president seemed to be very much in control, very much conciliatory and very much open to ideas, but will to push back when appropriate. it seems that cheney was also forth coming when he talked about where he stands today on certainly tactics. take a listen to this. in your view, we should still be using enhanced interrogation? yes. mo regrets? no regrets. should we still be waterboarding terror suspects? i would strongly support using it again if circumstances arose where we had a high-value detainee and that was the only way we could get him to talk. even though so many people have condemned it, people call it torture, you think it should still be a tool? yes. so we also discuss the differences, robert, that you brought up with colin powell and condoleezza rice, he still remainz defiant today, and in that example you bring up,
words. he s telling all in any new book in my time to his own secret letter of resignation, with an exclusive interview, cheney made sure not to lower expectation. this book is going to make a lot of people angry. there will be heads exploding all over washington, jane. you know that? yes. let s bring in msnbc contributor karen hunter and robert trainham, washington bureau chief for the comcast network. this was a fantastic interview, just to bring everybody in on this, here he is discussing how worried his old boss would be about what s in those pages? do you think president bush will feel the trade that you revealed the private conversations? i don t know why he should. you don t think so? no. you have always said that you believed the president deserves
