I agree. We need more and better information, which is why Obama's push for more transparency in the future is a good thing.

But you remind me that Dux's post contains two internal investigations, CIA and DoJ.

The first is interpreted as political: you did what the WH didn't want you to do, so we're investigating you.

The second is interpreted as the result of politics: you did what the WH wanted you to do, so we're investigating you.

In both cases, there is not enough information to know, yet it's the narrative pushed by the reporters that is generally accepted.
