This must be so chilling and demoralizing to the intelligence community. Even foreign intelligence agencies will be dissuaded from cooperating with us because that cooperation may someday be disclosed for political reasons. No agent is safe, no matter what assurances you have from the President or the Justice Department sometime down the line your critics can come after you and throw you in jail. No lawyer will OK anything harsher than begging for information. We knew Obama would be Carter redux but I wouldn’t have bet any odds he would destroy his main instrument in preventing another 9/11. I really think this is that serious. People will die because information could not obtained from those in the know.
