A Warning to Obama

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Ever since Edward Snowden began disclosing highly classified information about the National Security Agency, Americans have been subjected to a steady drumbeat of demands to restrict, if not dismantle, the NSA. President Obama is expected to announce today new limitations on ways in which intelligence is collected and potentially life-saving information made less available to counter-terrorist analysts.

These restrictions will compound the effects of Team Obama’s announcement yesterday that adherence to the jihadist Islamic code of shariah can’t be used to identify potential threats.

Fortunately, seventeen prominent former national security leaders have just warned Mr. Obama that, “In a world that is every bit as dangerous as that of the immediate pre-9/11 period, a superior intelligence capability is the critical first line of defense in keeping our country safe.”
Amen.
