Our Pansy-Assed Spies Are Having Their Feelings Hurt!

WASHINGTON -- The White House and State Department signed off on surveillance targeting phone conversations of friendly foreign leaders, current and former U.S. intelligence officials said Monday, pushing back against assertions that President Obama and his aides were unaware of the high-level eavesdropping.

Professional staff members at the National Security Agency and other U.S. intelligence agencies are angry, these officials say, believing the president has cast them adrift as he tries to distance himself from the disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that have strained ties with close allies.
Here's some free career advice to those "professional staff members": Suck it up, Cupcakes. Deniability is part and parcel of the game.

There was a time when we thought that our spies were tougher than that.



But now? Why, they put in a call for the waaabulance!

I could make an argument that a spy agency that doesn't give the administration deniability isn't actually working for the administration. I'd kind of be in favor of using the full weight the U.S. military to keep them away from American soil and American interests for all time.
