Bingo. Ozero did not like that coming out while he is trying to make nice with his leftist pals in the dem party. Some are really upset about the continued drone attacks.
Of course, since Ozero never answers to the free press no one will hear him answer a question on the subject and my sense tells me that anyone with the DNI title probably has the concept of keeping his mouth shut (lest he meet an untimely end in Fort Marcy Park)
I haven't had the opportunity to read the whole thread, so this may have already been mentioned, but Blair also criticized the FBI's decision to Mirandize the Fruit-of-the-Loom bomber. I'm sure that didn't make the White House very happy, especially considering the crap-storm that (rightfully) followed and the number of times Blair's criticism was quoted in the media.
