#1 I dunno...this sort of thing just screams "blow up in your face". All it takes is one occasion of bad intelligence, and the U.S. has blood all over its hands and the Islamists have another reason to crow (I'm not sure if that matters, if they don't have reasons, they invent them).

#2 But it's how you go where the bad guys are and make them uncomfortable. That the bad guys can get all upset is , as Martha would say " a good thing". Like I've said all along you just deny, bold faced anyway. These Syrians are over due for a little hello kitty.

#3 I dont think its a bad thing. The intellegence gathering and miilitary type missions should not need some diplomat approval. Polititians only see thier little political world. The Stepping on eachothers toes thing I can see somewhat but I would imagine that rare the pentagon SFC would kill or attack a CIA mole, after all istnt the whole point of the Department of Homeland Securtity supposed to have everyone pooling resources? Persoanally I think the SFC should be going full tilt into every country were the terrorist are we will come dont like it kick em out period. And personally I believe one of the worst decisions ever was the elimination of the CIA's ability to assasinate foriegn leaders. If Bashar or Kim Jong Il were assasinated tommorow as long as blame could be sent else were it would be a good thing. The resulting chaos would leave todays week Democratic group with sudden US weapon and SOF supported in a position to take over.
