you know, you saw the cases that catherine herridge mentioned.u know, there is others we don't know. about those are only the ones that we actually know about. that we have specific knowledge of. we also know there are thousands of europeans that are fighting alongside isis and syria. this is a threat to us. because we have to assume that if they have the motivation to go over there to be trained and to fight when they come back here, they have to be a threat to us. now, the fbi and others doing all they can to monitor and watch them. when they come back -- there is others that we don't know about and also had a case last year of someone that the government didn't know was in syria and then when he ended up being killed in a car bombing, we realized back and forth twice and had not been spotted by the u.s. so, again, in many ways, it's a needle in the hay stack. and we have to watch it and watch it as carefully as we can. >> all right. i understand the difficulty when we don't know it. i mean we don't know if somebody has gone over and joined isi

joining us from washington to explain the latest, fox news's own catherine herridge. catherine, what do you know? >> thank you, tucker. the language in this fbi statement is carefully crafted. and while stating there's enough evidence to blame north korea, it stopped short of saying they actually executed the attacks. the technical analysis of the deleted data does show links to malware north korea has used in the past. there's also significant overlap between several i.p. or internet protocol addresses and north korean entities. the sony hack bears striking similarities to an attack last year against south korean banks that left many customers unable to withdraw money from their atms. in a statement the bureau said "north korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a u.s. business and suppress the right of american citizens to express themselves." and the president went further today stating publicly, when intelligence officials had maintained privately that the u.s. must make it a priority to develop rules and standards for cyber warfare because bein

however, catherine herridge came out with this right before we went to air and we've heard it before. the cia, the intelligence community is saying and has said for years that house oversight leadership including nancy pelosi and others were briefed. they were first briefed in 2002 one month after the enhanced interrogations began. and what did leadership tell the cia who was briefing them? do whatever it takes to prevent another 9/11. >> that is the darnedest thing about this report. because if the defense is you senator feinstein are our regulator and authorized everything in here, then i don't know why she's releasing it other than because, here's the genesis of it, cia is prohibited from spying domestically. she argues the cia spied domestically and one of the victims was her. >> she's ticked off they spied on her. i get that. but you don't put american lives in danger for that reason. >> she's going to argue that the american public has the right to know. and that i agree with her. >> is it news that there was an enhanced interrogation program that we used that we waterboarded an

catherine herridge just filed this report. >> shannon, the language in this fbi statement is carefully crafted. and while reporting there is enough to blame north korea, it stops short of saying they executed the attacks and provides only three pieces of evidence to make the case. it reads in part, north korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a u.s. business and suppress the right of american citizens to express themselves. and the president went further calling the sony hack a crime and comparing it to terrorism. >> we can't start changing our patterns of behavior any more than we stop going to a football game because there might be the possibility of a terrorist attack. >> the president also stating publicly what intelligence officials have said privately, that the sony incident shows the u.s. must make the development of rules and standards for cyber warfare a priority. because being on the defensive is a losing strategy. having reviewed the fbi's statement, an intelligence source tonight questions why north korea would spend so much of its political capital on

. >> catherine herridge, thank you very much. let's bring in chris wallace, good to see you. you know, bottom line first of all, people i'm talking with say they're very concerned with national security after the release of this report. we haven't heard any new information yet with regard to that. where do we stand on that? >> well, there are two aspects of this. first of all, as reported, china is tweaking us about it, north korea is tweaking us about it. it is kind of interesting coming from them as defenders of human rights, but that's no big deal. you always expect that when they hear the kind of discussion in the united states that you could not hear in their countries, they're going to take advantage of and it say this shows the u.s. shouldn't be preaching. much more dangerous and more worrisome is the concern in the intelligence community, also secretary of state kerry, who before the report was released, spoke to the chairwoman, dianne feinstein, that this may lead or inspire new attacks, retaliation, because of the actions we took against some of these terror suspect

but first fox news chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge brings us up to date. >> reporter: the sony attack is believed to be the first time destructive malware has targeted a firm inside the united states. hackers physically destroyed data and systems. similarities between the hack last year on south korea's banks that left many customers unable to withdraw money from atms with the sony attack led the fbi to conclude north korea was a principal in both. a bureau statement reads north korea's actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a u.s. business and suppress the right of american citizens to express themselves. the president went further, saying sony was willing to pull the movie, "the interview," starring franco and seth rogen, because it silenced free speech. >> i am sympathetic to the concerns that they faced. having said all that, yes, i think they made a mistake. or even worse, imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship. >> reporter: sony's president responded that they had not caved or given in to north korea's de

catherine herridge live for us. what are they saying? what are we learning? >> fox news spoke with two of the cia contractors earlier today, and they say the house intelligence committee report takes the assessment of official washington over the eyewitness accounts in almost every case. >> we fought and bled for a government that we swore to protect, and now they're calling us liars. we continue to feel betrayed andioned by our own government that we swore to defend. >> and the men also say the bipartisan report released just before the thanksgiving break contains a number of significant inaccuracies about the 2012 attack, insisting their response was delayed. the copy and speed of the attack was minimized in the report and that there was an effort by the cia to intimidate those with firsthand knowledge of the terrorist strike. of course, those points were not the findings of the house intelligence committee investigation. >> wow. it's so interesting that they could be so opposite. so what are some of the reports surprising findings? >> well, this declassifi

and fox news catherine herridge says iran, russia might be involved pointing to sophisticated malware only those countries possess. even though those hackers appear to have achieved their goal shutting down the movie, the hackers may drop the other shoe in the form of another equally embarrassing document dump, which would leave sony trying to prevent more documents from going public while cleaning up the mess from the first round. remember sony chair amy pascal was involved in that e-mail exchange suggesting that president obama's favorite films all had african-american themes. today, pascal sought forgiveness of the reverend al sharpton. listen. >> so the jury is still out on where we go with amy. we clearly are willing to deal with an immediate formula to see where we deal with breaking down the walls of inflexible and so far immovable racial exclusion in hollywood. >> reporter: so at least as you heard al sharpton is withholding judgment for now and for sony these days that is a small victory when hackers are the criminals, many have decided the villain is unknown. megyn. >> trace

. >> catherine herridge has more now from washington, d.c. >> as the fallout intensified over sony picturesntertainment dropping the movie the interview under duress, president obama's aids edged closer to pointing the finger at the regime of north korean dictator kim junk un. officials reviewing they're holding daily white house meeting with top military and cyber security advisers. >> this something being treated as a serious potential security matter. there is evidence to indicate that we have seen disruptive activity with malicious intent that was initiated by a sophisticated act. >> they refused to name north korea and would not discuss possible sanctions if the fbi comes forward with evidence against the communist regime. as unlikely bed fellows ranging from hollywood stars to republicans like senator tom mccain all slammed sony for caving and potentially setting a press department that will jar other art. mccain hit the president by declaring quote the need for sony pictures to make that decision ultimately arose from the administration's continuing failure to satisfactorily address
