Director CIA: Congress Paving Way for Imprisonment Of U.S. Officials
[Free Beacon] CIA Director John Brennan warned on Wednesday that Congress's override of a presidential veto of contested new legislation will pave the way for foreign nations hostile to the United States to detain American officials at will for alleged crimes, according to a statement.
Detained giverment officials? And the downside is ?
Brennan expressed strong opposition to Congress's override of a bill permitting American victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the plot.

However, the bill--known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA--will also provide similar legal recourse to foreign nations, meaning that they could detain top U.S. officials, military leaders, and others.
Exactly how does the right to file a civil suit against a foreign government lead to detention of our citizens?
Leading U.S. officials, including Brennan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter, have warned that the consequences of the bill would enable foreign nations to meddle in U.S. counterterrorism operations and force the disclosure of sensitive classified material.
