... they said, "no". When Newt Gingrich asked NSA to make TCP/IP public, they said, "yes".

There is another thread concerning Republican congress-critters complaints that Obama is fucking up their diplomatic efforts in Iran.

I think it is safe to say that Republicans have most of the power on foreign policy. They let Democrats play at it, but when push comes to shove, the NSA, CIA, FBI and Pentagon will ignore a Democratic President and take their orders from leading Republicans instead. We know they fucked Carter at every turn. And we're seeing hints of that now with Obama.
