Fox News - Chris Wallace - Boston Suspect's Enemy Combatant Status

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) joined Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday this weekend to discuss some of the debate surrounding how Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be treated. While King insisted on enemy combatant status and doubled down on remarks about surveilling the Muslim community, Feinstein wasn't convinced.

Feinstein said she believed Tsarnaev should be questioned under the public safety exception and later read Miranda rights because that's "the only legal way to proceed." The senator further "regretted" that there's even a debate about whether he should be treated as an enemy combatant. King then chimed to assert that the suspect should be treated as an enemy combatant "for the purpose of interrogation."
"The battlefield is now in the United States, so I believe he is an enemy combatant," the congressman argued. There are simply too many unanswered questions, he added, noting "this is a unique opportunity to go into a treasure trove of intelligence."

We're likely to find out, Feinstein added, "that this was somebody who did want to participate in a jihadist event." There will be "ample evidence" to convict the suspect, she contended, "and it should likely be a death penalty case under federal law."

King countered that he wasn't concerned with the conviction, because he knows the suspect will indeed be convicted, but rather he wants to be able to obtain additional intelligence from Tsarnaev. That can only be done "effectively" if he's treated as an enemy combatant. Asked about Tsarnaev not being on an FBI watch list following his trip to Russia, King wondered what was "deficient," "what went wrong." Lauding the FBI for their work resolving the case, the congressman said, in terms of taking action beforehand, this was just the latest in a series of such mishaps.

"The threat is coming from within the Muslim community in the these cases," King doubled down, asked about his recent remarks about "increased surveillance" of that community. Ninety-nine percent of Muslims are "outstanding Americans," he added, but still, that is where the threat originates.

Feinstein didn't find that discussion to be very "helpful," emphasizing instead the need to look at the facts. It's worth looking into, she added, but there's no need to create "hatred" and "disdain" on television about it.

Mitt Romney - Chris Wallace - I Really Care About This Country

WALLACE: After our interview with both Romneys, we sat down alone with the governor. We talked about the campaign and how President Obama has dealt with the nation's problems since his re-election.

But we started with why anyone should listen to Mitt Romney.

WALLACE: Before we get to current events, what role do you see for yourself? What part do you want to play in the Republican Party? What role do you want to have in the national debate?

ROMNEY: Well, I recognize that I lost, so I'm not going to be the -- the leader of the Republican Party. Other people will take that -- that mantle.

But I want to have influence on getting our party into a position where we can be successful in solving the problems the country has.

WALLACE: You must know that there are a lot of people in the party who still blame you for losing the race they think that the Republicans could have won in 2012.

To a certain degree, when you hear about the rebranding, aren't people saying they want to distance the party from you?

MITT ROMNEY: Well, I recognize that as the guy who lost the election, I'm not in a position to tell everybody else how to win, all right? They're not going to listen and I don't have the credibility to do that anyway.

I look at what's happening right now, I wish I were there. It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done.

The president is the leader of the nation. The president brings people together, does the deals, does the trades, knocks the heads together. The president leads.
And -- and I don't see that kind of -- of leadership happening right now --

Chris Wallace - Ed Gillespie: Obama policies are hostile to job creators

Mitt Romney campaign adviser Ed Gillespie joined Fox News Sunday to talk about the grim economic news last week. Host Chris Wallace noted that employers added the fewest jobs in a year and the stock market wiped out all the gains it had made in 2012. He asked Gillespie what Mitt Romney thinks is going wrong. Gillespie answered, “This is a hostile environment for job creation in our economy. And that’s why, frankly, it adds a sense of urgency in terms of this year’s election to be able to turn things around because the only thing that’s going to change it are changing the policies and that means changing the person in the White House.”

President Obama has said, “Congress hasn’t acted on enough of the other ideas in that bill that would make a difference and help create jobs right now. There’s no excuse for that, not when so many people are still looking for work.”

Super Committee Worst Idea in U.S. History?

President Obama and top budget analysts are warning the so-called debt Super Committee not to take the easy way out of their mandate to cut the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion, as lawmakers have yet to reach a deal ahead of a Nov. 23 deadline.

For weeks, the overriding incentive for reaching an agreement was the fact that the law creating the committee would "trigger" sweeping cuts to defense and entitlements if the panel failed to identify the necessary savings. But lawmakers over the past several days have increasingly talked up the idea of simply changing the law so that those cuts -- particularly to the Pentagon -- would not go into effect should the committee fail.
