It’s not Obama’s fault, the administration wants you to know. BuzzFeed dutifully reports that the CIA and Obama’s national security team were all about transparency, transparency, transparency.

Ruemmler “advised the officials to not release any information to the public out of fear it could be used against them in any subsequent investigations and other legal complications.”<\/p>\n
