The FBI Strikes Back - at least one former agent does.

In a prior post, we were lamenting the fact that the FBI was allowing the Obama administration to try to salvage a politically stupid act by its attorney general, by compromising the Bureau's subsequent interviews of the Christmas Day Bomber after bringing his parents to the United States (much too late to obtain actionable intelligence).
The above link to The American Spectator should infuriate anyone ever involved with the criminal justice system. Here's a clip from a "courageous" (now that his pension is secure) former Bureau official:
"It's one thing for someone to go out and say that we're getting intelligence from someone like Sheik Mohammed," says a former Federal Bureau of Investigation official. "It's another to have what amounts to a propaganda event because you're getting tired of being criticized in the media and you want the media to give inaccurate information to the American public."
Wouldn't it be nice if Director Mueller had the courage to speak out so strongly?
