#1 I got an ideal Obama can use to extract himself from the political quagmire of trying to prosecute patriots for protecting America>

Give them Presidential Medals of Freedom and then tell them to get back to work.

America wins, the CIA, wins, the White House wins and the left whines.

Win win!

#2 could just produce more headaches for President Barack Obama

Sure would hate to see that.

#3 Just because the law in force at the time doesn't make it illegal, doesn't mean the CIA employees can't be prosecuted and convicted. If necessary, Obama could issue an Executive Order to make it illegal, or Congress could pass a law making it illegal retroactively.
Yes, I know that there is that pesky thing in the Constitution about ex-post-facto laws, but so what? What these people did was MEAN. So we should prosecute them.
