In an unprecedented letter, 11 current and former CIA operatives have written an open letter, demanding that public attacks from Republicans cease and desist at once. This is pretty interesting, especially when you read the entire letter. You can find a pdf file of the historic letter HERE.
It's especially interesting when you read who wrote the letter...at least five of them are major contributors to Republican candidates.
An intriguing passage from the letter.....
Our friends and colleagues have difficult jobs gathering the intelligence, which helps, for example, to prevent terrorist attacks against Americans at home and abroad. They sometimes face great personal risk and must spend long hours away from family and friends. They serve because they love this country and are committed to protecting it from threats from abroad and to defending the principles of liberty and freedom. They do not expect public acknowledgement for their work, but they do expect and deserve their government's protection of their covert status.
If there's one thing I know in this world, it's this..... Never. Piss. Off. The. CIA.
