the washington post posted it online ahead of today s printed edition. we did not talk about it last night on this program because we had questions about how valid it is to bring up something someone did nearly 50 years ago when they were in high school. those questions, though have not gone away. so we ll let you decide for yourself tonight whether this story itself is relevant to a presidential campaign or not. what we want to focus on is romney s response to the story. we heard what he said in north carolina today, apologizing, quote, if anyone feels they were offended, but on fox news yesterday, romney said more, including response to accusations the incident amounted to gay bullying since the victim was thought to be gay. take a look. i had no idea what that individual s sexual orientation might be. going back to the 1960s, that wasn t something that we all discussed or considered. so that s simply just not accurate. i don t recall the incident myself, but i ve seen
flying, spinning tires, all turning in front of our house. robbhe knows the woods like back of his hand. we pick up the trail. there is a boot print. dog prints. the swat team divided in two and made their way through the woods. the trail shows a lot of foot traffic. a lot of boot marks. stepped on branchs and things. the swat team came across one of the girls laying on the ground, alex andrea, they told mayes to put his hand where he could see them but he shot himself. walked down the trail and see what you see. that obviously has been somebody through there. suddenly there i was, the tip off would have been all the flies. the exact place in the middle of the woods. so judging by this blood on the ground that we found here, this would be the spot that according to authorities, adam mayes shot himself. now in keeping again with their account, the young girls would have been laying on their stomachs directly in front of him. you quickly realize two thing, that ph
mosque. he declined that offer. he along with 15 are suing the government over the no fly list. a lower court threw out the case but the appeals court heard the arguments yesterday in portland, oregon. now, michelle says being on the list has really hurt him, hurt his family, and fredricka, he says it has hurt his business sniet s a lot of power for them to disrupt somebody s life. in all actuality, this company s for the people, by the people, so the government should be fearing the citizens. the citizens shouldn t be fearing the government. a source told cnn in january that the no fly list has grown to 20,000 people as government agencies share more information. they say this list is vital for keeping the country safe from terrorism and they say since the list has been created, they ve taken additional steps to improve the accuracy of it. a court spokesman said a decision will be forthcoming, but, fredricka, but could not say when. in the meantime these 15 plaintiffs can
we heard what he said in north carolina today, aapologizing, quote, if anyone feels they were offended, but on fox news yesterday, romney said more, including response to accusations the incident amounted to gay bullying since the victim was thought to be gay. take a look. i had no idea what that individual s sexual orientation might be. going back to the 1960s, that wasn t something that we all discussed or considered. so that s simply just not accurate. i don t recall the incident myself, but i ve seen the reports and not going to argue with that. there is no question but that i did some stupid things when i was in high school. and obviously if i hurt anyone by virtue of that, i would be very sorry for it and apologize for it. so romney says he doesn t remember the incident, five of romney s classmates remembered it well enough to go into great detail to the washington post in separate accounts, all these years later. we can t ask john lauber to corroborate the details.
