My Comment: Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to this administration. There are a number of our citizens who are in the field sacrificing their life to make us safe .... and now our President wants to lay the groundwork to indict them .... even though these men and women are following the orders of their government.
Sigh .... and all of this happening on a day after President Obama said nothing of the sort was going to happen.
But as far as the main stream media is concerned .... Obama gets euphoric CIA welcome. What BS.

This cannot have any effect other than to degrade the ability of the United States to gather accurate and timely information in the near and distant future. Everyone on our side who can ever be considered to be involved in gathering information will be covering their rears so carefully that all risk taking and initiative will be eliminated.
