My Comment: When one sees how the men and women who serve in our National Security organizations are being treated by Congress, the media, and the Justice Department in this White House .... it should be no surprise to see that no one now wants to get there hands dirty. If other countries and other intelligence services are more than willing to take the slack .... the altitude is to now let them do it.

Unfortunately .... this is not a good way to run an anti-terrorism policy.
