"ac 360" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com done, thanks there is a huge development in the "duck dynasty" controversy and the government spying on you, the target data breach got worse. hackers have millions of pin numbers to go with the credit and debit card data they stole. we'll ask an expert if you should be worried and we'll take you on board the ship stuck in polar ice as 74 passengers and crew members learn a rescue ship steaming their way might need to be rescued, as well. we begin with the big court ruling on your privacy and security and the government's power to keep you safe by snooping on you, me, the guy down the hall, all of us. today a new york federal court

judge weighed in on the nsa operation that collects the numbers called from all of our phones, when they are made and for how long. it's a defeat for the american civil remembererties union and judge william pauly wrote while robust discussions are underway across the country in congress, and at the white house the question for this court is whether the government's bulk meta data program is lawful. this court finds it is. one catch, a week ago, another federal judge, rich charpd leon looking at the same facts reached the exact opposite conclusion. he wrote i cannot imagine a more indiscriminate and invasion than the systematic and high tech collection and retention on personal data on every citizen for kwurrying and abwising it. how do we square the rulings and who gets the job of doing that? jeffrey toobin gets the job of

trying to answer both. so break this down for us, jeff. this is really interesting. a couple weeks ago we have a judge down in washington appointed by or nominated by george w. bush who says this will not stand. we can't hoover up this meta data and keep it forever. this judge here in new york two weeks later appointed by clinton disappoi disappoigree disagrees. >> i've never seen something pre sicily like this. you have two judges, exactly the same legal issue inside a couple weeks deciding it completely differently. i think the big difference is that the judge here in new york said there's a supreme court president that controls this case. there is a supreme court 19779 said when you tile the phone, you're telling the phone company what number you're dialing. you'll see it on the bill. it's not something you have any right to expect privacy. >> but again 1979 when we had

rotary phones and the founder of facebook was negative five. >> that's what the judge in washington said. that may be the president on the books, but it's obsolete now. so i am going to find in a violation of privacy. you know, appeals courts don't take too kindly to district court judges saying, you know, the supreme court, it's wrong. so i think the judge in new york may have the advantage on appeal, and i think the odds favor, although not a sure thing, this meta data program being upheld. >> one is saying it works. the other saying it's wordless. >> this is what i found surprising because judge leon in washington said and it's been proved that this hasn't stopped any terrorist attacks. judge pauly here in new york has a list of terrorist events, would be attacks that it was stopped. i don't -- i mean, that's just frankly a mystery to me and i hope that gets sorted out as the

cases proceed because it's an important question, does it do any good? >> it has to wind it's way through the appeal lets. so knowing what you know, if the bench -- if the supreme court stays the way it is now, how do they come down? >> i think they uphold it? >> national security is something judges take seriously an they recognize that they don't have expertise in this area. they defer to the executive branch, to the experts on these areas, and i think ultimately, that's how it will turn out. it may also be that president obama modifies the program in someway on his own initiative. but the courts, i think, will ultimately go the way of saying we're not going to interfere. this is a political question for the executive branch but as we've seen, different judges see it dmpifferently and i could be wrong. it's happened before. >> no, no. it's great to share a set with you. >> good to see you, bill. whether or not the

government should have your number is obviously debatable, whether or not crooks should is pretty clear. so now in crime and punishment days after they got ahold of 40 million credit and debit card numbers from target, we're learning the crooks have pin numbers. it's a terrifying headline but digging deeper, how concerned should people be? tom henry is the president of data security firm crowd strike services. so sean, if you had used your debit card at target in that period there, what would you be thinking tonight? would you do? >> i think if you're talking about debit cards, look at your bank account. your liability is limited to the money in your account and there is a lot more concern there rather than a credit card with liability. as a cautionary tale you wouldn't use your debit card as a department store. >> i personally would not. >> if there was someone that did

that, what should they do now? >> talk to the bank. look for unusual transactions, behavior they may recognize as fraud and contact the authorities, contact the bank officials immediately. >> you have a lot of experience in this world headed up cybercrimes for the burro wild wide for awhile. who are the usual suspects for something this big? >> when you're looking at a sophisticated attack, you're looking at organized crime groups operating out of eastern europe, more recently we're seeing groups out of south america and asia. these groups are quite organized. they have a lot of talent and skill and looking to make a lot of money and doing it on the backs of american consumers. >> target didn't do favors by changing the story and saying the pip numbers weren't compromised and they are. do they deserve the customer's ire? >> there is a fog of war. when something like this happens, it's a complex investigation.

it takes time. as you uncover clues it leads to new conclusions and you won't often know exactly what happened until weeks or months down the road. >> but interesting you told us in the preinterview, target may be the poster child but this goes everywhere and maybe a legislative issue, right? this has been going on. our lawmakers have known about this and there is a lot of stuff they could have done before this. >> target is a symptom of a much greater illness that faces this country. congress has known for many, many years. there are a number of bills. there are more than 40 on the hill that have not been signed into law. looking at how people can better share information, how authorities can get involved to identify the ad ver scaries. we keep hearing about target. i haven't heard anyone ask who did this. every retailer is at risk. every banking institution. every commercial networks are at risk. >> in the meantime, one last take away for folks with the cards, just check the

statements, call the bank? >> you got to be aware. at this point, all the consumers can do is be vigilant and monitor what is occurring in their bank accounts on their credit cards so that if they identify something that appears to be fraud, they make sure they protect themselves by going after providers and letting them know they have been victimized. >> sean henry, appreciate your time. >> thanks, bill. we have big news tonight for millions of "duck dynasty" fans out there. big news, too, for everyone offended by what phil robertson, star of the show said about gays and african americans, or for that matter, everyone offended and there seems to be a lot by a&e's decision to suspend him. that suspension is over. the network announced tonight that they will resume phillipf n the spring but will broadcast public service announcements as unity and tolerance. phil robertson said gays are

going to hell and said african americans in the jim crow south were happy and weren't, as he said it, singing the blues. let's get more from brian, host of cnn reliable sources. some want to make this about the first amendment. this is about the invisible hand of the market deciding how many people he can anger and keep his job. did a&e cave at all or did this seem to be predictable given the success of the show? >> i couldn't say it better myself. a&e had to do something when the "gq" interview was published. their staff members who were gay or african americans were a

welcome back. i'm bill in for anderson. there is a new definition of cold comfort on a research vessel stuck since chris mall eve because the chinese ice breaker that came to unstuck them just got stuck. some of the stranded customers have been feeding a video from the middle of a blitz yard yesterday as they climb on deck. get a load of what they are stranded in down there.

in a moment, you'll hear from three people trapped on that ship but how they and 71 others got there. >> reporter: the -- 74 researchers and crew got off to a great start. >> it's half past midnight and we're going past some fantastic looking burgs. >> reporter: lead by a professor from the university of new south wails in australia they were looking forward to studying and retracing the steps of douglas who lived and studied live on the continent between 1911 and 1914. professor turney's team dug their way in the cabin from a century ago.

but on christmas eve, just about 100 miles from where they started out, their adventure came to a halt quite literally. their ship stuck in a heap of ice, some of it as high as 13 feet. they haven't bumpdged in days. it raised the curiosity of the locals here. the penguins have come to check out what is going on. >> the team spirit is fantastic, it has. we carefully chose the people we have together. we thought we would get along well. we weren't expecting such a severe test but everyone kept good moral. >> reporter: if the ice wasn't enough of a test, there was a blizzard, too. >> it's 2013 and as you can see we're in a blizzard at the moment with a low pressure system sitting over the expedition vessel. the vessel hasn't moved for the last two days and we're surrounded by sea ice.

we can't get through. >> reporter: the winds were gusting up to 45 miles per hour. >> at points, the ship was tilting and we had to readjust. even today, you still can experience just quite frightening conditions at times. >> reporter: but help is on the way. >> on the horizon, chris. >> that's the ice breaker coming to rescue us. >> brilliant. >> reporter: the team spotted the rescue ship from china known as the snow draggen in the distance but their excitement was short lived. it got close but not close enough. heavy winds and thick ice are making it impossible for even the rescue ship to move, just six miles away from the trapped vessel. two other ice breakers on their way, one french and one australian but it may be another day at least before anyone reaches the professor and the others. >> how long it takes to actually extra kate us i don't know.

it's like lansing a wound. you have to relief the pressure around the vessel before we can get out. >> reporter: get out and get on their way again to retrace the footsteps of history. randi kaye, cnn new york. well, since we have the means and they seem willing, we had to dial these guys up. you saw alex and chris turney. a correspondent for "the guardian" and "guardian" video producer. gentlemen, it's amazing to see you-all in good spirits. we take this technology for granted, but a couple generations ago you would decide which one to eat first but now you're tweeting penguins to the world -- >> [ laughter ] >> you go first, all right. but has there been any moment of fear? >> well, i am -- i seen lots of people fearful. right now i don't think anyone

is fearful. chris is the expedition leader, no one is fearful, right? >> moral is really high at the moment. we have wonderful food, three meals a day. >> it doesn't seem to run out. >> talk about the weather and the storm. mother nature bats last. you guys are climate scientists, you know that. i wonder if you have a false sense of security at all. >> yeah, it's in the guinness book of world records. we're following in the footsteps of douglas morrison and he called it the home of the blizzards and i think after a day or two that was enough for us. >> it was quite -- we -- lawrence and i posted a lot of video of us doing journalism in the blizzards and it's gone viral, that picture, which tells you that people don't expert yeps these things that much, but the interesting thing is what happened was the blizzard broou

the devices normally on this water towards us and pinned us against the antarctic pin cap. if the wind blew the other way, it would disappear but itself and we would be able to sail out. but at the moment we're waiting for some ice breakers. >> that's unbelievable. chris, i understand you gave everyone the day off for christmas. how does one celebrate christmas while pinned against the antarctic ice sheet? >> it's -- if i tried to value it for the day. we had a fantastic christmas day. a lot of people have done preparations. we arranged before hand a 10-dollar gift each and wrapped and given out to people ranging from ridiculous, as santa found us, it's amazing how he finds you. he was here. and we had a fantastic christmas

dinner. it was a traditional meal with ham and turkey and all the trimmings and crackers, as well. i think everyone had a fantastic time and i think it was what was needed after christmas eve after we sent the alert for help to break us out. >> i want to know the sensation. you guys seem to be taking it well, but was there a sense of relief when you could see the chinese ice breaker headed your way? are you counting the hours until your free of it? >> i was with the expedition leader greg when he first sighted the chinese ice breaker on the horizon and he said to me psychologically, that was a really important moment because as soon as the chinese captain visibly saw us the incentive to get to us was that much greater. we were a real thing rather than a blip on the radar. he said that was a really crucial moment in this rescue

operation. >> it's a crucial moment for the people following us. we're in a little bubble here, but chris and i have been using social media to share what we've been doing, but it's very hard to see the reaction outside. yesterday, lawrence tweeted a tiny picture of the ship that was coming to rescue us, and within five minutes, it had been sent around the world 2 or 300 times. this is levels of twitter that we're not used to, maybe justin bieber is but we're not. we've been doing a series of very well produced videos describing the trip, and they have gone viral, too. what do you think? >> satellite technology we can use today allowing us to chat to you is superb. in the old days we would be stuck off the edge of a map and no one would know where we are. today we can chat to you. >> if things get worse at all and things really turn grim, we

can probably get justin bieber down there to help you guys out. i follow him on twitter, so i'm sure he'll pitch in. >> i heard one piece from the outside world that he retired this week, is that right? i think -- >> yep, yes, while you've been trapped in the ice justin bieber retired. that's how long it's been. stay awarm out there and we hop your spirits stay high. we're rooting for you every icy step of the way. >> thank you. >> i want to ring in the new year with those guys. coming up, anderson looks at the year in justice. crimes that shocked, courtroom verdicts and verdicts still causing controversy plus, a look ahead to new years eve. a preview of what anderson and his co-host kathy griffin have in store for all of us. we're aig. and we're here. to help secure retirements and protect financial futures. to help communities

well, tonight we're taking a look back at the year in justice. 2013 will remind us of the crimes that horrified us, courtroom dramas we couldn't stop watching, some of the most sensational cases aren't over yet. here is anderson. >> no jury is going to convict me. >> in january of 2013 the trial of jodi arias began. she was accused in the brutal killing of her by friend. >> she's the one that did the stabbing. she's the one that slit his threat. >> arias said she had no memory of the killing. >> do you have a memory of slashing jason alexander's throat? >> no. >> as to count one first-degree murder, guilty. >> arias faces the possibility of the death penalty.

>> racial profiling loomed over the george zimmerman trial. zimmerman who served on his neighborhood watch shot and killed 17-year-old trayvon martin after he spotted the teenager walking through his florida neighborhood. martin was unarmed. >> [ bleep ] always get away. >> are you following him? >> yeah. >> after the violent confrontation, zimmerman claimed self-defense. >> felt like my body was on the grass and my head was on the cement and he kept slamming. >> ultimately, the jury believed him. >> we the jury find george zimmerman not guilty. >> olympic hero oscar known as the blade runner was charged with the premeditated murder of his girlfriend reeva steenkamp she was shot and killed in his bathroom one night. he says it was a tragic mistake and he mistook her for an

intruder in his home. his trial begins next year. boston mob boss whitey budger had his day in court after 16 years on the run. his trial lasted for months and in the end, the 83-year-old was found guilty on 31 counts including murder and extortion. bulger faces prison for the rest of his life. ariel castro faced a life sentence in prison after three women were rescued from his cleveland home. the three women were kidnapped by castro ten years ago. they were held in dun again-like conditions. michelle knight faced castro in heart. castro pleaded guilty and was accept tensed to life in prison but one month into his sentence, he was found hanging in the jail cell, his death rule add d a su.

>> clearly a busy year. we sat down for highlights and low points. >> joining us, mark geragos, sunny hoosten, mark toobin and d dan danny. >> the most interesting was the zimmerman case for the way it gained momentum and it was a reverse o.j. as angry as whites were at the o.j. verdict, you had the reverse phenomenon with the zimmerman and martin, so i think that one clearly brought up all kinds of great issues i think for people to talk about and to me, at least, it was the most compelling. >> you were the only one that seemed surprised by the verdict. >> i was. and i'm still surprised by it. i thought it was unjust and i think it was because one, i was in the courtroom and two, as a person of color, i always

believed that justice was sort of color blind and i didn't believe that race was going to be such a factor. i didn't believe that these jurors, five of them mothers, could not empathize with the victim and did not -- could not see what i saw -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> which means that race trumps gender and everything else. >> and that was a lesson for me. >> you had an ah-ha experience. >> did and i'm be -- >> and the jurors, one of the first jurors to speak, it was clear her talking about it, she did not feel a connection in the same way to trayvon martin -- >> she did not -- >> as to george zimmerman. you said rachel jeantel was unrelatable to people and i took you to test for that. what do you mean -- >> she was the friend of trayvon martin. >> she was so unsophisticated, how could she make things up and

your point i think it was right one. >> well, thank you, sunny. i have no response to that. laugh will have. >> the wheels came off the bus with rachel jeantel with that particular jury. >> this case was so racially device and we haven't seen something like this since o.j. and here is the thing. i think this is where we disagreed a lot. mark and i are criminal defense attorneys and if you want to make the case race is an issue, we'll agree with you. we see it every day. when we walk in prison and mark and i have been to many. most of the people in there are young males of color. something is going on. but, this is not that case. i think to many attorneys out there, this case in the public at large, this was not only a run of the mill self-defense case but a strong self-defense case. you had substantial evidence of actual injury. so i think from a legal perspective -- i know we disagree, sunny. >> no way. >> i think the criminal defense bar will plant the flag and say race is an issue in the criminal justice system but this wasn't

the case. >> jeff, what were you most interested in in terms of legal rulings, trials this year -- >> i mean, in terms of broader rulings, i thought the supreme court ending the vetter rights act is a hugely important case. the windsor case, a very opposite ideal decision that ended the defensive marriage. those were enormously important and one, we just got mentioned in passing, the bulger case which was an extraordinary story about a family that dominated boston for many years, and inkrepdble fbi corporation. >> corporation. >> the abuses that went on with the fbi. >> fbi turning for years a blind eye -- >> they were. [ overlapping speakers ] >> they were enabling -- >> not enabling fraud and theft, enabling murder. >> murder. >> it raises the question, i have to wonder if mark is with me on this, especially in federal cases, how much should the federal government be in the business of joining crime to

catch crime, whether paying informan informants, dealing them to go against each other or creating the crime. creating drug drops, situations to attack -- >> and picking sides in a gang war, in a mafia war and helping whitey bulger killed the side the fbi wanted knocked off. >> do you think on day one they started out, we'll become criminals? no, it happens gradually -- >> although it is fascinating rereading a fantastic book and this fbi agent john connally who grew up in the neighborhood, i mean, a lot of it was old allegiances to the bulger family. >> and also, south boston where so much of that case took place is now becoming gender fied in a way it was such an insular -- >> he returned to a boosten he didn't recognize. >> there wasn't a lot of media

coverage but i was in the courtroom for the sentencing for bulger. the victim paimpact statements were no different than the victim pact statements you hear every single day in court. these people, you could just still hear and feel the passion and the pain that they suffered. >> bulger, what he was so concerned about was not being seen as a rat and not being seen as somebody who killed women but apparently he did. >> he did. it is too bad there weren't cameras in the courtroom because his whole defense in the case was not that i'm not guilty of being a gangster, i'm not guilty of being a drug dealer and killing my enemies, i just didn't inform, and i didn't kill women. >> all right. we'll take a quick break and have more when we come back, more crime and justice ahead. a subaru... ...are the hands that do good things for the whole community: the environment, seniors, kids, and animals.

i'm back with criminal defense attorney mark geragos, sunny hostin, jeffrey toobin. >> it was the castro case, and i'll tell you why. it never made it to trial but to someone like me, i look at that case and feel like we should talk about it 24 hours a day. it's like when astronomers tell you the human brain doesn't have the capacity to understand the large galaxy of the universal. nobody can fully comprehend the public, what it would be like to live ten years in an attic in shackles. i can't comprehend that so we're moving on. i think that case should have been 24-hour news coverage to

the day. castro is no longer with us so that diminished the interest. has there ever been anything so bizarre, three women shackled in an attic for not one year, two years, ten years. what were you doing ten years ago and make that the marker and go wow, they have been upstairs on the third floor since that day. >> an interesting thing that came to that case is it gave renewed hope to parents and relatives that have these missing -- >> i can see that -- >> there is hope they are still alive. >> there is hopement that's something that came out of it and also, what is crazy to me is you're talking about three women, girls around the same age abducted within a one-mile radius and the cops never figure it out. they never put it together. >> that doesn't sup priest me. >> that was shocking to me. >> that doesn't speak well of the cops. >> there were so many -- there were rallies, there were neighbors that saw unusual behavior in that home. castro's relatives were in the

home, and for ten years, no one did anything or saw anything or suspect anything. >> the castro case reminded me in a weird way of jerry sandusky case, the penn state assistant coach who was such a serial child abuser and all i could do and think in both cases, is there is evil in the world. >> absolutely. >> and no explaining. i don't know what causes it, but there are people who are stone cold evil. >> the second log of the castro case is the sentencing where you see him. to build on the evilness and all the people we perceive as evil in their mind are self-justified. if you saw castro's statement. >> how do you sleep at night when somebody confesses to you they have done a crime? when that first happens, i'll reach that point but it never happens. >> it never happens. >> the ability to justify what it has done, think about it. ariel castro in court was

sickening -- >> blame the others, but that is something i have to say mark and i probably see and sunny sees every day. the power of self justification, if you think about the last argument you had and how you justify yourself, they are facing serious prison time. the mind may not be true lying -- >> and that brings up the joe did arias case. this woman had multiple explanations, multiple lies, told so many stories of what went on -- >> another thing, it illustrates in part why the death penalty is disappearing in this country that case would have been over in two weeks -- >> she's on the stand for 18 days. you could have done that whole trial in less than 18 days. >> was there a case we haven't talked about that you think is interesting? >> for me, zimmerman professionally and personally. i didn't understand why everyone was so interested in jodi arias.

she admitted to killing him. it was almost pure from people, yes, attractive. fatal attraction, a guy's worst nightmare, you date a hot chick, she kills you and murders you. >> slashes you in the shower. >> to see somebody lying on the stand was televised and to see it day after day as a viewer you get hooked into it. >> it was shocking to me. >> they start to feel like they are on the jury. thank you very much, thanks. >> thanks. coming up, a cab driver in vegas finds $300,000 left in his car. find out what he did next and later, it is almost new years eve, which means another chance for kathy griffin trying to get anderson fired. despite the standards and legal department, they are hosting again live this year and we'll get a little preview when "360" comes back.
