. >> sources confirm a breach in the accounts of c.i.a. director john brennan and homeland security secretary jeh johnson. >> okay, now i know it sounds bad, but the good news is the hackers were only able to penetrate brennan and johnson's personal accounts. their work accounts are safe, and more importantly their netflix accounts are safe. which means they can still invite bae over to chill. i have to say, you're laughing, but the only problem with netflix and chilling is 50 minutes into is it he looked at you like this. i have no idea what that means. but despite being brennan and jawnsob's personal e-mail accounts, there was sensitive work information being passed around. prince, brennan's a.o.l. accounts yielded the names and social security numbers of several top intelligence officials and it also contained his 47-page security clearance application. um, quick note to the c.i.a.-- maybe somewhere in that 47 pages, you can find room for the question, "why douf a damn a.o.l. e-mail account?" a.o.l.! seriously, america! this is the c.i.a

scott: neither the c.i.a., f.b.i. or homeland security would comment other than to say they are aware of the report. "wired" magazine which spoke to the suspected hackers says they claim they successfully prank called director brennan multiple times and plan to hack other top government officials soon. on capitol hill, scott thuman, abc7 news. maureen: now hillary clinton's e-mail habits while she was secretary of state will come under harsh scrutiny on thursday. that is when she will testify about the 2012 attack on benghazi that killed ambassador chris stephens and three other americans. today the department of state delivered more than one thousand of stevens' e-mails to the benghazi committee. a dramatic rescue north of phoenix today. rescuers saved a woman from the floodwater around her minivan. authorities say she tried to drive on a washed-out roadway but got stuck. she was not hurt. we don't want to see that kind of rain around here. brian: for sure. our big story is the chill. we got up to 70 degrees downtown

in the longer-term, we believe former co-location with the c.i.a. will greatly improve our security situation. the state department has always been reluctant to confirm the emergency meeting took place. and the classified cable was one of the last documents provided to the senate intelligence committee investigation. brett? >> were there plans to make the consulate or the facility permanent in benghazi? >> well today mrs. clinton gave the impression that the u.s. operation in eastern libya was only temporary. >> there was not a, an active plan for a consulate in benghazi. at any point during this period. that is not what the compound in benghazi was. it was a temporary facility. placed there to help us make a determination. as to what we would need going forward in benghazi. >> but ambassador chris stevens' deputy, greg hicks, testified under oath on capitol hill, about a specific conversation he had with stevens about mrs. clinton's plan. >>dy tell the accountability review board that secretary clinton wanted the post made permanent. ambassador pick

they are classified by the c.i.a. they are on his last day -- just about his last day in office, leon panetta announced the release of these six documents all formulas for secret ink. most recently, we coordinated a multiagency activity across government to answer a white house request for declassified records response i have to the brazilian national truth commission. the desire for records relating to human rights abuses during 1964. vice president joe biden provided the first of several cd collections to the brazilian government last summer and the national declassification center is concluding this resflu 2015 with the web release that also describes the impacts on americans abroad. the motto of the national declassification center is releasing all we can protecting what we must. in that spirit, let me tell you that the work of the national declassification center goes on so that we avoid those backlogs that they were originally saddled with. finally, i would like to say that the release of the president's intellig

this is not an analytic construct from the analysts at c.i.a. his is what he says to his closest friends. you say what does that mean, reestablish the russian empire? he would say direct control over or significant influence in all of those parts of the former russian empire, which, by the way, just happened to match up nicely to the former states of the soviet union. that's what he wants more than anything else is the ave the russian state. glory to >> rose: -russian -- of the gloy of the russian state. >> rose: it's fear of influence instead of taking territory back. >> he doesn't want to take a territory back. he wants to take over or have a sphere of influence in. >in. he certainly has a point that there are russians that are slavs who are russians that live in many places because they spread during the soviet union. they certainly do not outnumber the populations in the other countries but he's absolutely right they're there. >> rose: john kerry and sergei lavrov said today the two governments would try to deconflict their operations, meanin

the aclu says they were subjected to what the c.i.a. ed enhanced interrogation techniques and what the aclu senate investigators say is torture. the lawsuit named two psychologist, james mitchell and john bruce jesson described as the architects of the program. mitchell spoke to aljazeera america last fall. he did not confirm or deny any role in the interrogations but said "it's easy using hindsight to can you go we could have done it official, this wasn't necessary. it's easy to do that. i complete understand it. hindsight bias we call it in psychology. it happens, it's why people think we should have been able to predict 9/11 or pearl harbor." he later admitted that he was part of the program, but would not comment about his role. he did say this when asked whether waterboarding i guess torture. >> i think you can do it in a way that it constitutes torture. i think you can do it in a way that it constitutes training. >> this new lawsuit says those in custody were subjected to extreme methods, like ear splitting levels of music, extreme

that the c.i.a. the real evil and that america has no right to protect itself from those who wish to destroy it. because after all, we are evil. with that mentality. the end justifies the means. why not expose a man's most private information. making the c.i.a. vulnerable puts all of us at risk. perhaps it's time to redefine what an enemy combatant is in the cyber age. because wikileaks doesn't do this to corrupt countries or jihadists, as if as if they're waging cyber warfare only on us, how odd that those who claim to champion rights to privacy now cheer those who assault it perhaps it's time to hack the hackers and the hackers' backers. how do we do did? our leaders and journalists must admit that cyber attacks are attacks, not expressions of freedom. the attack on brennan was an attack on us, it wasn't china who did it but the heroes of modern media. may their social security numbers run wild. >>> eric did wikileaks -- >> this is the first time you started with me in two years. >> did wikileaks --

in a statement the c.i.a. would only say it has referred the authorities. we contacted some of the people whose names were on the list. there is a common thread. many work for the obama transition team inn 2008. scott, it is important tooote personal accounts. some of the information tak was sensitive. >> pelley: their personal accounts, but not their government-secured systems that handles classified information. jeff pegues, thank you. this is shaping up as the most critical week for hillary clinton's presidential campaign. on thursday she will testify under oath before the house cocoittee that's investititing the 2012 attack on a u.s. compound in benghazi, libya, an attack which killed four ambassador. today we got a preview of the battle to come, and here's nancy cordes. is --. >> reporter: clinton doesn't testify for three day, but benghazi committee democrats are already defending her with a 120-page report refuting republican claims that clinton was disengaged during the 2012 attack that left four americans dead. the report includes a never-before-se

the aol email account of c.i.a. brennan has a spread sheet of intelligence officials including the social security numbers of the alleged hacker told the "new york post" that he was motivated by his opposition to u.s. foreign policy and support for palestinians. >>> word in washington, an announcement about joe biden's political plans are coming and people in the know say he will run for president. and he toyed with some saying he is late to the game. >> i am the late joe biden and i just want to you know as much as i love you, i have been in the meeting with the president on another matter for the past two hours and it is hard to say mr. president, you are on your own, i am leaving. although he is on his own, he doesn't need me. >> and a congressman pointed this tweet, i have a source close to joe that tells me that v.p. biden will run for president. >>> republican candidates trump and carson requested protection from the secret service. the request will be assessed by the second of homeland security in consultation

. >> pelley: the personal e-mail accounts of two of the security officials have been hacked. c.i.a. director john brennan and homeland security secretary jeh johnson. an anonymous hacker has been bragging about breaking into these accounts, but now multiple law enforcement sources tell us the breaches actually occurred. and jeff pegues is breaking this new development in our washington newsroom tonight. jeff? >> reporter: scott, this is a criminal investigation, and authorities are working to locate the suspect. he seems to be feeding off the publicity, and that's in part why investigators are reluctant to talk about it, but multiple law enforcement officials tell cbs news that he had unauthorized access to both private e-mail accounts. late in the day, the person tweeting under the handle of cwa followed through on threats to release sensitive information. "you know we don't lie. what you have all been waiting for. sorry for the delay." along with that statement came social security numbers and phone numbers of about 20 people said to be affiliated with the head of the c.i.a. in fac

so for insight into all of this, we'll going to michael morell, former number two at the c.i.a. andd our cbs news senior security contributor. michael, how much difference does it make to have 50 u.s. special operations forces on the ground in syria? >> scott, it doesn't sound like much but i think it's going to make a significant diffefence r two reasons. one is these special forces will be with syrian kurdish fighters who are right up against the heart of isis geographically. they're up against the center of mass of isis. and secondly,y, the special forces will, i think, just as they have in iraq, make these fighters better strategically and better tactically, help them make better decisions militarily. >> pelley: now, the r rsians have troops s the ground at a military base in syria. does this increase the likelihood of a u.s.-russia confrontation? >> scott, i don't think so. i'm not concerned about that. kurdish forcess forces that we're going to be supporting are focused entirely on isis. they're not focused on fighting the assad regime. so i think the chances of us butting

i don't see the c.i.a. here. there were many, many other agencies involved in this and yet yours has been the one that they have obsessively focused on. i think that's a shame for a whole lot of reasons, but one thing this committee as it's been in the news in the last several weeks has been yet one more step in denigrating this institution. i happen to this this institution needs more support not less. would stop doing that. and i -- you mentioned beirut and that was the first thought that occurred to me when this happened was a democratic congress at the time did a fair and quick investigation of what was an unspeakable tragedy. two separate suicide bombings, four months apart. and there was clearly inadequate security. the focus there was not on partisanship. not on embarrassing the reagan administration. but actually figuring out what happened and how we can better protect americans. now, i want to ask questions about what i think is the central issue. and that is how do we have that presence in the world that

the c.i.a. is not commenting on the claim but says it has referred the matter to the "proper authorities." the c.i.a. alison: the latest poll in the wake of the first democratic debate shows hillary clinton firmly in the lead heading to the 2016 presidential race. c.n.n. and o.r.c. surveyed 1,028 adults between last wednesday and saturday and 45% say they favor hillary clinton. 29% support bernie sanders. the rest of the declared democratic had 1% or less each. 18% say they would vote for vice president biden if he -- a big if -- he decides to run. so the vice president's plans are the issue. he said he will have a decision in the next few days. we a closer look at the waiting game. reporter: remarks on climate change, meeting with president obama. no 2016 decision from vice president joe biden but help from the white house monday. >> it's a personal decision for anybody to make. he understands the pressure he is understood. he will make a decision when he is prepared to make it. reporter: recent

with unique insight into this we'll bring in michael morrell, former number two at the c.i.a. and senior security contributor for cbs news. michael, how significant is this? >> scott, this is of historical significance. this is the first time the russians have conducted combat operations in the middle east since the end of world war ii. >> pelley: what do you think russian president vladimir putin is up to? >> there's lots of reasons here, scott, but i think they boil down to two. the first is that he is trying to prop up assad. assad is weaker today than he has been since the fall of 2012, and putin is trying to prop him up. why? because putin really fears that if assad were to depart the scene, that there would be even more instability in syria, that isis could grow even more, perhaps even take over damascus. he really believes that. the second reason, scott, is that russia in general, putin in particular want to be seen as major players on the global stage, and this gives that to putin as well. >> pelley: has the obama administration been outmaneuvered by russia? >> you know

butting up against the russians here is unlikely. >> pelley: michael morell, former number two at the c.i.a., michael, thank you. in another important story tonight, the lgest mass release of federal prisoners began t tay. thousands of nonviolent drug offenders are walking free in a program to ease overcrowding. we have more now from our justice correspondent jeff pegues. >> this is about as far as i can go. >> reporter: after being in a halfway house and under home arrest for fiveonths, -year-old william hiins became a free man today. the former public school teacher served 10 years in federal prison for dealing meth and ecstasy. >> i was released two years early and i am so grateful for that. >> reporter: he is one of some 6,000 federalnmates to be granted early relelse under a u.s. sentencing commission program. in 2014, the commission voted to cut jail time for some nonviolent@drug offenders. the average 10-and-a-half-y-yr prpron sentence is being reduced by two years. this program is part of a bipartisan effort to reduce the federal prison population, which has grown to more than 200,0
