I agree with Nick Lothian in this comment buried far down the list. The drop in morale is not because of shame about spying on fellow citizens but Obama's lack of explicit political support for what they are doing. The implications of this position does not bode well for our freedoms in this country. The title of this post should be "NSA to Obama; your move".
