right now on "andrea mitchell reports," did the grinch steal christmas. a massive credit card theft at target targets holiday shoppers. one of the largest data breaches in history, 40 million customers credit card data could be compromised. what you need to know about protecting your accounts. nsa overreach? a white house task force recommends reining in snooping. we'll ask nsa chairman patrick leahy what he plans to do about the balance between privacy and security. >> the message is clear. the message to the nsa is now coming from every branch of governme government, from every corner of the nation. you've gone too far. >> dodgeball.

hillary clinton has been ducking the 2016 question. now bill clinton's role. >> if you ran, what would they call your husband, first spouse? >> i have no idea. first mate. i don't know. good day, i'm andrea mitchell in washington. bad news on retail front. during this busiest shopping time of the year, retail giant said credit and debit of 40 million customers may have faced unauthorized access during a massive breach that started on black friday and went unnoticed. from that up to president obama to limit the powers of the nsa i'm joined by nbc justice correspondent pete williams and michael leiter, nbc news

counter-terrorism export and former director of the national terrorism center. mike liter, y e liter, you know. how is this possible and implications. >> there is something in common with target and edward snowden. that's we as companies and governments but an enormous amount of incredibly valuable information including privacy information with credit cards in our computer systems. that means crime today affects people. when it happens to a company like target, which is so committed to public safety, anti-fraud, it's really one of the best in the nation, it shows it can happen fir. >> shopping habits have been transformed. i remember a time when you didn't want to put your personal data in, now everybody shows

this way. do we have to rethink our way of living. >> it's when the card was swiped that whoever stole it was able to somehow get into the system and grab the data swiped in the hopes of selling it to people who phony up credit cards, the printing on the back of the credit cards. one thing you can do to protect yourselves, when you use the credit card insist they look for ids of card holders of the they almost never do that that's one way of spotting phony credit cars. >> nsa, the two of you have had a chance to look at the report. michael, first of all, your takeaway. this is a task force with mixed backgrounds not the best experts in all aspects, some would say. what about their recommendations, president will take some, amend some and reject some out of hand.

>> couple of things. this is the first statement. this is not what's going to become law or practice. the president is going to modify, congress is going to modify. second, there aren't too many recommendations in there that strike me as unreasonable. a lot of transparency and oversight is a good thing. my single biggest fear, combination. if they were to be all adopted, it would make the intelligence committee more risk averse and reduce effectiveness without necessarily a great gain in civil liberties. that's a concern. >> what about the concern if you have to go to court for a court order, pete, every time you grab some data, the lag time if you have an operation, something clearly about to be an operation. >> that's a concern. if i were the nsa, i would think being told twice in the same

week that the government's time being of the essence is true. that's what the committee said, as they look at the phone mining program, they are not persuaded by the government's argument that instantaneous access is necessary to prevent terror attacks. we don't see the proof it's ever happened before. that's got to be troubling for them. >> pete makes a good point. the phone metadata records, slowing it down is not a tragedy. in the scheme of counter-terrorism that's not a critical thing. the question is with this other oversight and process suggested in the report, how much it will slow down the other things that really do work. review group recognizes they are critical. >> what are critical? >> e-mail. the group recognizes nsa's e-mail program do really important things. how much oversight do you want to slow that down.

fbi national security leterings, they get information from companies. >> that's not well understood, where the government has the power without a subpoena to a business, give us this information we need to have it. requiring them to go to court, that would slow it down to. >> how unlikely the phone companies would destroy this data. this would take an enormous amount of digital storage that they don't want to do. they don't want to do this to you, our customer, but the gad guy, the government is forcing us. >> this is something i find striking and i'm interested in mike's perspective on this. some businesses store this -- they all store this a while, that's how they bill you. the question is how long do they keep it. some keep it for six months. the report says it's enough. >> i tend to think six months is not enough. in many cases we saw a single piece of evidence, then might take a year or two years to be

relevant. what's required, first of all delegate to allow phone companies to hold it and nsa to search it, then there should be a deep discussion about how long it should be. i think five years is too much but six months isn't quite enough. >> the government is going to have to pay them to do this. >> quick question celebrating military from civilian leadership. >> the theory is you'd have civilian director and more oversight. >> now that the president is not separate national security agency from cyber command you have to have a military command. not because they don't understand civil liberties but means civilian cadre can't rise up to the position. what you really want is the best man or woman for the job, not just best man or woman in uniform. >> and more congressional oversight. >> absolutely. >> thank you so much michael leiter and pete williams. for more about the debate i'm joined by patrick leahy, vermont

chair of key judiciary committees and one of the players that will decide what will happen legally, legislatively. the task force, where should he go, what should he reject. >> we may be changing after judge leon's decision and task force report. task force follows closely bipartisan legislation i've had. you just heard a discussion national security letters, have more restrictions. you can close the company down without any, quote, oversight for a period of time. we have to get back to where we actually protect america's rights always our safety.

i don't think it's an either-or situation. the fact nsa can collect everything, sometimes can mean they have nothing because they don't know what they have. keep in mind this is an organization that allowed a subcontractor to come in, steal their greatest secrets, walk off to china and russia with them. and today after months and months and millions of dollars they don't know what they stole. this does not give a huge amount of confidence people worried about their own rights and their own privacy being invade. >> i wanted to play dianne feinstein's response when we talked to her the other day. >> it is my belief we live in a world with serious jeopardy to this nation. those of us on the intelligence committee see this frequently. therefore this program, in conjunction with other programs,

helps keep this nation safe. it is a major tool inferet ferr out a potential attack. >> legislatively you and senator feinstein have promp, you have differing views on prifrsey and security. >> that's democracy. we have congressman sensenbrenner, republican in the house. i have similar legislation. i think that we are -- that's why i'm having hearings. before these hearings were always in closed doors. we can't tell you what we heard. i've had the hearings in open session. i think it's been an eye-opener to the american people when they found out how much of their privacy is invade day by day. we're willing to give up some privacy but not everything.

can you imagine in the day j. edgar hoover spying on everybody martin luther king on through, if he had this power, how many people's lives would be ruined. what i'm looking at, will we always face a trorgs threat? of course we will. it's a greater threat if the government does away with the rights and we become a totalarian state. >> there were 54 instances of terror threats directly prevented by the nsa program. >> well, you know, that is a question that i asked when he had to appear in public. that 54 went down to 13. it came down to one possibly tangentially involved. i think nsa used in speeches that 54 number. i think it's unfortunate.

when they had to testify in an open hearing where they have to be very specific and tell the absolute truth, it gets down to one case possibly involved. i don't know if that's enough to say we should go on a trend as we are now to take everybody's metadata. if you follow the reasoning they have, there's no reason why they can't look at your health records, your tax records, everything else you might have on line. >> thank you very much, senator leahy. as the year draws to a close i want to wish your family a merry christmas and happy new year. >> thank you. we're looking forward to being in vermont. >> i can understand why. thanks so much. safe travels. now to surveillance of a different kind. kate, duchess of cambridge had her cell phone voice mails hacked by rupert murdoch's "news of the world" tabloid. former editors of the newspaper rebekah brooks and andy coulson both on trial for illegally

answer about whether or not you're going to run for

president. >> i haven't made up my mind. i'll look carefully and what i can do and make that decision sometime next year. >> sometime next year hillary clinton hinting and ducking but her time line for 2016 on barbara walters special. joining me the daily fix white house correspondent julie and steven hayes contributor and editor of the atlantic. first of all, do you have any doubt at all barring unforeseen action, personal or medical, that hillary clinton is going to end up running? when is the best time for her to signal her intentions. >> certainly a lot of signs coming from the clinton camp that she's at least very seriously considering this. you did mention a couple of scenarios, personal issues that could come up that would prevent her from running. when you talk to democrats, they say they do want her to make this decision as soon as possible, because as long as this is still an open question, you have donors on the

sidelines, other democratic candidates who would have to jump into the race who are far less known to the public than hillary clinton is who would need to spend the time going to the states, meeting with important officials and the public. so they really hope she does make this decision sooner rather than later. >> of course her own experience from 2008 it was made too soon. she was a front-runner too long and that was part of the problem, that whole inevitability scenario steve clemmons is what she ended up tripping on in part. >> i think that's absolutely right. i have a hard time believing she won't run because there's so many parts of the clinton franchise that are deployed and organizing and moving quickly. everything from her twitter flirtation with possibilities and, you know, what chelsea is doing. to some degree i see hillary clinton as already running and out there, if not formally, informally. that runs the risk of making her

look unsure of herself. she has such a high profile, from the moment she were to turn on her interest she would be a formidable candidate. the only thing that would pull her down is becoming stale in the eyes of many democrats who would have to nominate her. i think she's running that risk before we speak now before she's made her formal commitment. >> there's a lot of revisionist about secretary of state, secretary john kerry. you were just traveling with the vice president, steve, in asia and obviously joe biden thinks he is certainly entitled to a fair review in terms of 2016. >> i think joe biden is out there showing he's doing things, i think joe biden is going to be more the point person on china. to the point of john kerry who has been throwing himself at problems that really looked in

soluble and immovable. he's showing he's putting his credibility on the line in many ways that heart attaillary clin possibly looking at higher office isn't. john kerry is a problem for hillary clinton. not that he's running but showing what somebody who is not running for higher office, throws himself so doggedly into problems is doing. i think that foil is a bit of a political issue for her. >> julie pace, lets talk about vladimir putin with both of you. you've covered summits, you know how tense the relationship is with the white house. the white house assigning a low level delegation, no offense to the people in that delegation, but a delegation, first of all, does not have a president or first lady, former president, vice president coast guard to sochi in 50 days for ceremonies and a delegation that includes openly gay -- three now, because

brian boitano has just come out, three gay athletes in the face of putin. putin has had his end of the year, pardoning political prisoners and trying to smooth over controversies. is that going to work with the white house? >> it probably isn't going to work. this white house has a long history with vladimir putin. they know there's a good putin and bad putin. when you talk about olympics, this is a clear message to rush not only has obama and putin and russia frayed, but the very specific issue about banning gay propaganda is something that the united states fundamentally disagrees with. as you mentioned, typically the olympics are an opportunity for the u.s. to send a high-level person, a president, vice president, first lady to a country and revel in the olympics and this delegation is anything but. >> we've only got a few seconds but vladimir putin on the world stage is going to be a major

problem for this administration or work on deals like the chemical weapons deal in syria and have sort of an uneasy alliance. >> just quickly, there's always ups and downs in the u.s. russia relationship. russia is a strategic player globally. there's no way to deal with iran, oil and energy policy around the world without fundamentally engaging russia no matter what the particular antics was. i notice vladimir putin jabbed him saying he was jealous of the president being able to spy on people and get away with it. there's silliness in the relationship, certainly anti-gay positions of putin are not silly but we're going to have to respond on one level but understand that the deep, deep common interest of the two are going to force them to deal with each other regardless of what may be appearing sometimes on the surface. >> steve and julie, thank you both very much. >> thank you. >> thanks for being with us. we have an update today on the remarkable story we told you about yesterday.

cecil williams says his trusty guide dog saved his life when he fell onto the tracks of the subway train. now the hero dog will get to remain by his side. he jumped to his rescue when the visually impaired man fell onto the tracks. both were injured in the accident but thankfully not seriously. he was afraid he would lose the job, he's nearing retirement age. his insurance would only pay for active working dog. thanks to outpouring of support online he will not have to part with his friend and hero. the overwhelming number of donations will help many other people in need of guide dogs. this is a very happy christmas. >> orlando is my best buddy, my pal. thank you for everybody showing their humanity and peace a goodwill at this time. if i can impart one lesson to a

millions are americans are concerned about what is going to happen onto target and their debit and credit cards because of what happened in the past few weeks putting their personal information in jeopardy. joining me assistant editor of financial times and cnbc's marry thompson who has been all over this story and our networks. thank you for being with us. mary, first to you. how does this happen and what is the implication for target and all the people whose personal data has been compromised? >> first of all, target has not said how it happened but said it's possible malware was able to access point of sale systems where you swipe credit card and take the data on the back of that magnetic strip. the data includes the card holder's name, the card number, expiration date and security

code. this allows thieves to make counterfeit cards they use to make purchases, return those goods for money and that's how the money is laundried. despite what it means for target, right now website down, deals with credit cards because there's been so many people going to the site. the phone number you call in order to ask about credit cards, that is not picking up in large part because there's so many people calling. it's trying to get more people in to deal with customer's concerns. what they are likely to see is penalties and higher fees as well. it's a costly image problem for them as well. >> they will end up facing higher fees from credit card companies assuming they get back on track. julian, this was already a relatively weak retail christmas season. >> can't imagine a worse time. companies like target were warning before this week that sales were less dazzling than hoped.

we have just seen the fed balk on the long awaited taper and nervous how consumers are going to react in terms of confidence. having something like this come out and undermine consumer confidence is important in the important days leading up to christmas shopping. it's bad news. not just for target but more broadly. >> to both of you, mary, certainly seems from market response that messaging from the fed, not just tapering but messaging about its policy going forward got it just right. >> certainly. yesterday the reaction was incredible when the fed said it would begin to reduce bond buying program it had in place in an effort to keep long-term interest rates lower. it was essentially a nod to the fact u.s. economy is strong enough to stand on its own without this additional stimulus. of course withdraw it gradually, the markets took it to heart, which, of course, is interesting because there is concern there is still -- the economy is

somewhat fragile as evidenced by the fact we aren't expecting any great pick up in holiday sales. nevertheless i think a number of people on wall street are relieved we're starting to see a withdrawal of this artificial stimulus. >> jillian, you're nodding, also messaging about monetary policy going forward is a big reinsurance to the market. >> what it's starting to do like a plane starting a long descent back to ground. they are trying to change course so gradually passengers don't notice stealthily. they achieved that yesterday. there were no air bumps. today the markets are treading water. the big question further ahead will they keep the plane descending gradually. one of the things the market is watching for, not just when the fed starts scaling back asset purchases but when it raises interest rates. those are different steps they can take in policy terms. something the fed said is the actual interest rate rise, which

frankly most american consumers care about, that won't happen for a lot. >> that's what affects mortgage rates, cars. >> mortgage rates tied to interest rates. that's what people will be really watching out for. that's another reason the markets are relieved. they can see the fed is going to be losing altitude to normalize policy to go back to the metaphor but not a crash or nosedi nosedive. it's going to be gentle, they hope. >> thanks to both of you. they are calling it a macgyver moment, they are trying avert an emergency like the one months ago when an italian astronaut's helmet filled with water. brings to mind another case of

first time since zero not include a former president, vice president, first lady or cabinet members. it includes three openly gay athletes, kaitlyn cahow featured in this interview with matt lauer. >> do you think you would have been choten if you were not gay? >> i can't say. i wasn't on the selection committee. there's a lot of issues i stand for. the reality is i've been selected and i'm goal to do my best to support our athletes. >> chad joins me now. great to see you. >> good to be here. >> new mexico, 17th state. the country is moving more and more in this direction. there can still be legislative turns back. >> there's no question it's historic. it's now or 17th state. 38% of americans live in states in this country that have marriage equality. that's incredible progress. last year alone we doubled the number of states in this country

that have quality. no question momentum on our side. that means 62% of americans live in states that don't have full equality or most basic protections. a longways to go. there's no question we're headed in the right direction. >> you should feel a certain amount of real pride in this because you were the one that initiated the lawsuit that led to the supreme court case. >> the momentum going into prop 8 and doma was incredible. the goal was to continue momentum after historic decisions and today puts us a long way down that road. >> lets talk about sochi. lgtb athletes, brian boitano has come out today, another member of this delegation that is going to be heading to sochi without someone from the cabinet, white house. this is a direct rebuke, a deliberate rebuke, something that pleases your community, saying to vladimir putin you cannot get away with this without facing international

criticism. >> there's no question this is the grandest of snubs to putin and russia. united states in line with a number of other states including france and germany and others. i think you'll continue to see that as other countries announce their delegation. it's unfortunate, an drachlt the olympics is something that brings the world together to support our athletes in healthy competition. but what putin's actions have done with this anti-gay law, it's inspired violence on gay people in the country. lgtb people every day are threatened by violence because of what he's done. direct action by putin. this is the world response. it says you can't be part of the civilized world if you treat a portion of your population in that way. it's outrageous. the president, this administration made the right decision. there is no senior administration official cabinet level or president, vice president, first lady going. in addition we have openly gay former olympic athletes going, which is absolutely incredible

and sends the right message. >> including the hero billie jean king. >> incredible. >> one of my personal heroes. >> billie jean king is a hero, icon in russia. >> you have written to the president and asked for a boycott of the top officials. >> we urged folks be part of the delegates that would send the right message. we made explicit it was our hope this country would show its displeasure with that law by sending a delegates that would send the message to the russian government. also, andrea, importantly, it gives support to the lgtb activists, to my colleagues working day in and day out, folks who i know and met with and talked to who suffer because of these laws. young people in particular who suffer because of these laws. president obama made the right decision. at his news conference today, listen to this, putin was asked about this issue sort of a little bit tangentially.

he said, quote, it is not about criticizing somebody, it's about protecting us from aggressive behavior on the part of some social groups, which i believe do not just live in a way they like but they try aggressively to impose their opinion on other people and other countries. so this is putin making nice? >> you can't put lipstick on a pig, andrea. there is no question what putin is doing is targeting a portion of the population of that country because of who they are, how they were born. it has nothing to do with behavior. he has chosen to target millions of russians with his anti-gay law. because of that law inspire violence upon them. it's outrageous. i'm so glad that the entire world really in many ways, really the entire world, civilized world has come together to condemn these laws. unfortunately for olympics, olympics are starting to be branded as the hate games. >> what would you like olympic athletes to do? should they at the risk of

bodily harm make protest, wear a ribbon, a sign. they could get taken out of the games if they wear a ribbon in the ceremony. >> we have talked to a number of athletes around the country and in the world and encouraged them in interviews they do, whether on this network or others be outspoken and public about their opposition to laws. it will be up to them individually how they handle themselves and what the ioc will allow them to do. the ioc has boggled and poorly handled this issue. i hope it will be a learning moment -- teaching moment for ioc as well in terms of choosing countries in the future and ensuring we don't put our athletes and don't put sponsors of ioc in these situations. i hope more sponsors are going to speak out. i hope ioc is going to be clear directive and speak out and i hope a number of athletes from this country and around the world will show their support for the lgtb community in russia. >> thank you very much. >> always a pleasure. >> such a year for you. >> it has. >> happy new year to you and

and a 30-tablet free trial. a short film made by former u.s. marine is calling attention to the human side of war, the power of the young people involved and the tragedy of what happens to the children especially in afghanistan. inspired by real life story of regan young and 6-year-old afghan villager who changed his life during his deployment. >> what is your name, sir? >> my name is john. john whittaker. >> hello john john whittaker. what took you. >> sorry. went off base for a smoke. >> you know, sergeant, the captain doesn't like us to leave the wire when we're not on control. >> yeah. >> and?

>> don't worry, marine. >> regan young joins me now. regan, thank you very much. i know you were a staff sergeant, in iraq and afghanistan after having first in the marines as an oboist. you went to iraq and in afghanistan you met the children on the streets in kabul. tell me what inspired you to write this film, documentary short. >> good afternoon. first of all, thank you for having me on here. what inspired the film, when i was getting out of the marine corps in september last year, i was working on something else. friends that i was deployed with sent me the articles knowing i knew the kids. so before i started working on a film or transcript, i tried figuring out ways to possibly assume custody of her. when i found out that was going to be a lot more difficult than i originally thought, about

december time is when i started writing again. instead of working on what i had been writing, i started working on this as kind of a therapy. i showed it to a few people. they liked it. showed it to a few more. they said i should start working on it as a film and share it with at least my family and friends. i never imagined it would get this big. so when i met her, she reminded me of my baby sister. when i was in the marines, i didn't get to grow up with my baby sister as much. so it was just a -- >> there was a real story. this 6-year-old was one of the children in kabul. when she says, i'll be your bodyguard, what inspired you was an incident in december of 2012, which was a teenager suicide bomber who set off the bomb and killed four children including marza's two sister. yes. i believe the numbers might have been a little higher. but yes, her sisters, i knew them as well.

when this happened, it was devastating not only to me but to a lot of the friends i was deployed with as well and others i did not know. when i started making the film, i started getting messages saying they wanted to see when it came out. they knew it wasn't just me marza came up to, they would act that way for anyone in the area, whether a troop or contractor. it wasn't just me that really appreciated everything they had done for us leading up to their ultimate sacrifice. it was many others as well. >> as we get to the stage where there's going to be a withdrawal with or without an agreement of the karzai government, what are your thoughts about america's longest war and the children, the children of afghanistan, who were victims of both sides. >> my thoughts are, first of

all, the war, it's a sad thing. the kids get stuck in the middle in iraq and afghanistan. they are completely helpless. there's nothing they are able to do. their government is runy people our amg age and older. they get stuck in the middle. i had friends, family send me food, clothes, books, anything that would help them stay warm in the winter, eat when they couldn't. my opinions on the war are different than the kids. i'll stick to the kids. it's incredibly sad because there are ways i believe we'd be able to help if a stronger communication was set up wh that government, like what i wanted to do last year. i wanted to assume custody of merza. if she were here, i'd be able to put her through school. she'd receive an education and grow up and possibly go back

home and start changing things. but as it stands, there's nothing they are able to do. i've heard -- there's no way i'm able to contact them. i tried. i'm hoping that she's all right as well as the other kids. to the best ofbombing, they just got back out there on the streets and were selling scarves and bracelets for, you know, several dollars. >> well, good luck with the film and with all of your efforts to improve our connection to the people of afghanistan. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. happy holidays. >> you too. and there's this tragic milestone in the brutal civil war in syria. 11,420 children have now been killed in the conflict according to the independent oxford research group in london. most have been killed by explosive weapons from syrian army assaults on neighborhoods. now the indiscriminate force of barrel bombs is adding to that toll. on the other side of the conflict, amnesty international reports that islamist militants

so which political story will make headlines in the next 24 hours? join me me now is nbc senior political editor mark murray. we think, as he usually does he before he goes to hawaii, the president will hold a news conference. if that were to happen, one of the questions could be, why would he appoint, according to all reports, a senator, democratic senator max baucus, with no experience in either foreign policy or asia that we know of, to the most important diplomatic post in asia, which is beijing? >> the one credential he does have is being the chair of the senate finance committee. china does come up from time to

time on that powerful committee. >> that's hard by a credential to be the ambassador to china. >> you're right. when you look at john huntsman's credentials on knowing mandarin. this doesn't seem to be as pressive, but when the united states sends someone who's a distinguished united states senator to china, that could -- you know, they'd take that and pay attention to that. >> what are the implications politically? >> i think this is even more fascinating. you'd have a democratic governor potentially putting the lieutenant governor who's already running for max baucus' seat and trying to give him a leg up for a seat that democrats definitely want to hold. >> and coming up in 2014 are, you know, the key senate fights, which right now you've got mark pryor, embattled other red-state senators and the potential of losing the senate. >> right. the reason why the playing field looks so favorable for republicans, we're talking about arkansas, alaska. you look at louisiana, north carolina.

north carolina is actually the most democratic leaning out of all the state and president obama lost it in 2012. looks good for republicans right now, but we have almost a year to go. >> mark murray, that's why we love politics. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online and on twitter @mitchellreports. tamron hall has a look at what's next. >> hello, andrea. coming up, several developing stories in the next hour. first, india's foreign min stir demanding the united states drop a case against a diplomat that was strip searched. we'll have the latest. plus, a judge decided just a few hours ago that the suburban detroit man who admits to shooting and killing unarmed teenager renesh amc bribe will stand trial for second-degree murder. we'll talk with nbc legal analyst lisa bloom. and target says it has fixed the security issue that could have compromised the credit and debit accounts for 40 million
