Many as a Million People may march today in defense of freedom of speech. Along with politicians from the u. K. , from france, germany and turkey from israel and from palestine. You mentioned the video that just surfaced made by Amedy Coulibaly hes the man who took the hostages friday in the kosher supermarket. He pledges allegiance to isis although new evidence that he never wanted to go and fight with them. However his girlfriend, Hayat Boumeddiene who French Police say is suspect also in the terrorist attack doesnt does appear to have slipped away. Turk irk authority say she crossed the border in to syria on the 2nd of january. Another thing that Amedy Coulibaly underlines in the video is that he coordinated his attacks with the attacks of the brothers, Cherif Kouachi and said kouachi of the people at the satirical magazine charlie hebdo. French politicians are calling for unity universally france has largest Muslim Population in europe and very ethnically diverse society. They are desperate to avoid a violent backlash. There is extra security everywhere including paris on the streets of paris just imagine how French Police must be today they just had a very violent and difficult week now have to ensure the security of as many as a Million People walking in public along with celebrated and controversial politicians. Schieffer we turn now to attorney general eric holder, he is also in paris this morning he is just finished a meeting with his Law Enforcement counterparts from around the world. General holder thank you for joining us. Did you get any new information on this attack during these meetings there . Well, the purpose of the meeting was obviously to express our condolences also to pledge our solidarity with the french people, a pledge was made to make do better job of sharing information amongst the nation, is that were there. I think we will in fact do that. The president has announced on february 18th we will host a summit in washington d. C. , i announced that at the meeting so that we can come up with a way we can deal with the root causes of this violent extremists, the new causes of what it is that attracts these young men to the really negative ideological roots. Schieffer general holder, does this attack signal that the war on terror is entered a new phase where were dealing with these home grown terrorists who go to other places, get training then come back to their home country and kiir out these attacks . I think we have been in that phase for some time, bob. I think the defamation of corral i could da core al qaeda to do the kind of things that they did on september 11th. Other hand al qaeda affiliates in the Arabian Peninsula has moved what they do to other attacks, inspired people, negatively around the world to engage in these really small attacks that involve only one or two people. Small number of arms that could have devastating impact that we have seen in france. We have been in this phase of the fight against terrorism for some time. Schieffer does this mean that the danger, the threat of attacks like this in this country is greater now in the United States . I wouldnt say it is greater. But i certainly think possibility of such attacks exists in the United States. It is something that we worry about all the time. Something that we read about all the time. Something frankly keeps me up at night worrying about the lone wolf, or group of people, very small group of people who decide to get arms on their own and do what we saw in france this week. Its the kind of thing that our government is focused on doing all that we can in conjunction with state and local counterparts to try to make sure it does not happen. Schieffer there are reports that the algerians warned the french authorities that Something Like this might happen, do you have any information on that . Well, this is something that well have to be part of an analysis of the whole incident as we do in the United States when something happens like that in our country or when we disrupt a plot. We look to see if ways which we might have done something differently im sure that our french counterparts will be doing that as well. Looking to see if there were things that they missed, that might have prevented this from happening. We will be sharing with them all the information that we have to help them in that analysis. Schieffer how many of these socalled home grown terrorists do you think are in the United States right now general holder, and are we monitoring all them, are we confident we know who they are and where they are . I think we are doing, i think, a good job in monitoring those people. I mean monitoring in an appropriate way using legitimate tools, not stereotyping anybody but focused on those people who we have some reason to believe might engage in these kinds of activities. I think that our fbi in conjunction with Intelligence Community and in conjunction with state and local partners i think we do a good job in keeping abreast of what these people are talking about and potentially what it is that they are planning. Schieffer general holder on another subject the New York Times reported and we have confirmed through our own sources at the Justice Department that the fbi and federal prosecutors want to bring charges against former cia director David Petraeus for passing classified information to his then girlfriend. Were told that you will make the final decision. Will you make that decision or will you leave that to your predecessor . At this point i dont want to comment on that what is ongoing investigation. The determination in any case is made at the time that all of the evidence has been acquired, all. Evidence has been reviewed when it has been gone over with people who are the subjects of the investigation with their lawyers. At the appropriate time the proper people within the Justice Department will make determinations as to what, if any, action should occur. Schieffer would that proper person be you or be someone else . Its hard to say. In terms of timing, i will be in office until my success or is confirmed. But i would expect that to the extent that there is a matter of this magnitude that would be decided at the highest level of the Justice Department. Schieffer general holder thank you for joining us. And for more on this now were joined by mike morell the former Deputy Director of the cio now Senior Security contributor and john miller who used to be at cbs news is Deputy Commissioner for the new york Police Department. Gentlemen, thank you mike, to you first. Al qaeda and yes, maam senn now claiming responsibility for the first of these attacks what do you think of that . I cant remember a time, bob when al qaeda and yemen took responsibility for an attack that turned out to be wrong. I take claim of responsibility, claim that they directed this attack very seriously. We dont know what direction means, could be having told these two individuals to go back attack this particular media outlet. It could have been more than that. Well have to wait and see. But i do think al qaeda was in part responsible for this. I do think that is something very, very important about all this. Weve been focused on isis for the last nine months to 12 months. This is a reminder that al qaeda is still very dangerous and still very significant threat to the west western europe and United States. Schieffer john miller the attorney general touched on this, but what is it that is attracting people from these countries like france, some from the United States, other parts of europe, to go to these middle Eastern Countries to get this training and then to come back with this sort of thing on their mind what is this thats going on here . You know, bob i think its a couple of things. One, over more than decade since 9 11 basic maturing of the ideology, but its the Delivery System that made real difference. They are putting out products on video, on twitter on instagram on facebook but particularly their videos. Theyre constructing messaging that rivals the ability of madison avenue in terms of packaging in terms of being compelling in terms of touching emotions. And frankly in terms of constructing the story with a delivery arranged set of facts that leaves out anything inconvenient, but the core message is come fight here with us. The second part of the message which is a threat to places like paris and london and new york is, if you cant fight here in syria, get what weapons you can get your hands on, dont reinvent the wheel and fight there bob what about the possibility that this attack in france makes it more likely that we may see some sort of an attack like this in the United States . What are you doing at the nypd now . Were on heightened Security Posture on a normal day compared to almost any other Police Department with the amount of resources that we feel in Counter Terrorism missions every day. Thats more than a thousand Police Officers and civilian analysts who are pointed at the Counter TerrorismMission Every day. But when we see an event like france, we look at that threat, look what they did how they did it, look at the target selection and that becomes part of the overlay. Thats part of daytoday business. But i dont think that we are under any more threat, i have to underline as mike would tell you, or any less threat than we were the day before. There is a piece of this as when you see a School Shooting or Workplace Violence it doesnt start somebody who wasnt thinking about Something Like this down the road of doing it, but what it does is, i think we saw piece of this in paris it takes that person who is already thinking about it, already planning it, may accelerate them. Schieffer one of the things that worrisome here, mike, is that reports that the algerians, got some advance warning of this passed it on to the french authorities. There is going to be a full investigation here in to the performance of the French Police and french intelligence. I think one of the things thats really important to highlight are the resources that were available to french intelligence and the French Police. Those resources were cut over the last several years. They had to make very difficult choices about who to focus on, who to surveil and who they had to not surveil bus they didnt have the resources. Governments are going to have to fund their Law Enforcement and Intelligence Services, that includes the United States. Schieffer understand you got some disturbing new information last night on this front, tell us about that. Well, isil issued another threat yesterday, its a video that was posted on twitter and it called on its followers to attack targets in the west. Specifically mentions the United States canada, Great Britain france and it is a renewal of a call that they put out in mid september before series of attacks in canada and one in new york city against Police Officers that occurred in october. Were seeing that they are using the momentum from the paris attacks in part of their messaging strategy to see who can we get to follow this. It also specifically mentions as targets civilians, Police Officers intelligence officials and military. It is something of concern we put out a city wide notice to Police Officers last night advising them. Message reminding them to take extra care and be extra vigilant. Schieffer gentlemen thank you very much. This is disturbing news today but we thank you for bringing it to our attention. Thank you. We turn now to the chairman of the House Homeland Security committee here in the United States congressman mike mccaul of texas. You just heard mike morell saying the Intelligence Services in france have had their budgets cut, and cut some more, i understand that the Homeland Security budget is being cut especially as far as the tsa people who are people who guard our airports. Is that so and are you satisfied, are you good with that . Were planning to vote on tuesday on measure that would actually increase spending within the department. Schieffer youre cutting tsa funds. My understanding in many areas of the department i think tsa oversee travel is very important, this is a threat that happened in paris that could happen anywhere. We need to be focused on that threat. This is a different style attacks in the sense that you had foreign fighters that went to yemen to train in the art of warfare then bring that war back home to where they lived in france. That could happen here in the United States. Weve had thousands of these western travelers that have become foreign fighters in syria, iraq and yemen that pose a threat and a risk returning to where they came from and to do the same thing that we saw in paris, in addition hear a lot about home grown violence, the lone wolf, if you will. Weve heard lot about that radicalizing over the internet. The foreign fighter piece that disturbs me greatly because we dont have a good handle intelligence wise, who is on the ground in syria. In iraq and yes, maam tone identify them to put them on no fly lists so they cant get in the country. These individuals were actually on a no fly list and still traveled to yemen and back. We had woman female terrorist leave and go to syria yet shes on a no fly list. Europe has strength and tighten travel restrictions, we need to look at protecting this country because i see this as real threat. Schieffer what do we need to do that were not doing here . A couple of things. I think our no fly list are working well but you dont know what you dont know. Need to identify who has gone over there, traveled over there to fight this fight. Then how do we keep them off of airplanes and restrict their travel. Western europe again more lenient in their travel restrictions. We have a visa waiver free system where they can fly to the United States without even having a visa. Need to look at all sorts of the things like that. Mainly driven by intelligence. Im launching an investigation on my committee to look at security and defense steps that may exist as pertains to foreign fighters. This is the most successful foreign fighter terrorist attack that we have seen to date. Schieffer how much of a threat is al qaeda in yemen pose now because we have seen now that theyre taking credit for this attack, you heard mike morell say when they say they take credit for it generally proofs to be true. They did in the video last night. This is iraqi inspired they traveled these two brothers traveled to yemen and trained under the art of warfare. I would argue you mentioned the war on terror to general holder, i think theres been, in this administration tendency not call it that to have false narrative that everything is okay. When its not distinguishing getting greater in northern africa. In the middle east, as that threat becomes greater so, too the threat to the United States thats what we have to be prepared for. Schieffer so you think these are more dangerous times than before. I believe small scale attacks, larger scale 9 11style more difficult to pull off. A bigger cell we can detect a small cell like this one very difficult to detect, deter and disrupt which is really our goal. I think well see more and more of these taking place whether it be foreign fighters going to the warfare in return or whether it be someone getting on the internet as john miller talked about, very sophisticated social Media Program then radicalizing over the internet. Schieffer thank you for joining us. Well be back in one minute with more on all this. Push your enterprise and you can move the world. But to get from the old way to the new youll need the right it infrastructure. From a partner who knows how to make your enterprise more agile, borderless and secure. Hp helps business move on all the possibilities of today. And stay ready for everything that is still to come. Schieffer were back now with the number two republican in the Republican Leadership in the Senate John Cornyn of texas. Senator, were always glad to have you. Is the senate going to actually reduce funding for the Transportation Security Agency at this particular time . I know that seems to be the plan circulating on capitol hill. Would this be the time to do that . We are absolutely committed to the security of our homeland will do nothing on bipartisan basis to erode those protections. You have my commitment that is unequivocal. At the same time the
