So he's lambasting the Obama administration for not allowing the disclosure of classified information in open court, information that could quite possibly expose an agents identity to our enemies just to get back at the Democrats for objecting to the previous administration justifications for warrantless wiretapping?

That old saying about cutting off ones nose to spite ones face comes to mind...
