My Comment: When it comes to the Washington Post's coverage of this White House .... I tend to not believe much of what they are now reporting. What I do believe is that they are trying to give "political cover" .... and in the case of the NSA and Edward Snowden's damaging leaks .... to try and distance as much as possible the President from this unbelievable scandal.
As for morale at the NSA .... I suspect that their morale is down because they have been lied to and now feel embarrassed explaining to their neighbors, family, and friends on why are they working for an organization that is spying on them as a matter of course.
