Former Intel Officials Back John Brennan

A dozen former top intelligence officials are speaking out against President Trump's decision to revoke former CIA chief John Brennan's security clearance.  The joint letter to the White House includes the names of 6 former CIA directors, among them General David Petraeus, Leon Pantetta, Michael Hayden and George Tenet.  The statement said the removal of Brennan's clearance was an unprecedented attempt to stifle not only Brennan's freedom of speech, but also that of other former and current officials. The group says they've "never before seen the approval or removal of security clearances used as a political tool, as was done in this case."
