CAVUTO: Yes. The president, if we are to believe this report, was recommending "non-lethal action," I guess, a code word for something that would not involve the risk of any human lives. You still say releasing this info was, in fact, a risk to human lives?

ROMNEY: Well, I'm saying we may never know. Clearly, Iran is a nation which has the potential and most likely the intent to cost human life. The kinds of things that have been said by their former leader, Rafsanjani, suggests an interest in using a nuclear weapon.

And therefore the need to destabilize this government and hopefully have the people there recognize the peril that Ahmadinejad's government represents to them and to the world that that is noble cause and something which we should be encouraging.

And then for ABC News to release information which may jeopardize that effort is obviously of real concern. And, of course, at this time we also have U.S. citizens which are being held by Iran being charged with trying to destabilize the government with treason there.

And, of course, the report like this only can encourage and give credibility to the Iranian government in their effort to hold these people.
