Help me out here. My feeble addled brain seems to remember THAT -after 9/11 Tom Clancy and others were saying that the Clinton Administration should have not tried to take the cloak and dagger out of the CIA.

The idea was the administration (I actually remember this from reading the 9/11 Report) decided that we just didn’t act that way. Trying to keep thing above board and transparent.

So, now people are truly and actually shocked that NSA does creepy stuff?

Am I getting this correctly?
