to protect us,

While making sure

that he doesn't abuse

that power.

And that simple principle,

That there's somebody

watching the watcher,

Whether that's on an issue

of freedom of the press,

Or it's an issue

of warrantless wiretaps,

That simple principle

is one that we can't give up

And we don't have to give up.

[narrator]

well, mr. President,

we are watching.

And I guess we have to ask

ourselves one simple question:

Do we agree?

cold feet and a tie

rise to the occasion

a million tiny flashlights

I gotta turn it off

cold feet and a tie

rise to the occasion

a million tiny flashlights

I gotta turn it off

for awhile,

I'll keep my place

but tonight,

I'll stay so late

Washington is caught

in its very own episode

of spy versus spy.

The tactics once employed

By top intelligence-gathering

teams at the cia,

Sifting through ip addresses,

emails, and fake dropboxes,

Have now been turned against

the intelligence community's

top official.

oh sleep for a while

too much conversation

The fbi uncovered

evidence of an affair

Between petraeus and

his biographer paula broadwell.

That's right.

Petraeus had an affair

with the author of his

fawning biography all in.

These did not

implicate criminal activity;

These did not implicate

national security;

These were not a threat

to david petraeus the person,

Or to general petraeus,

The director of the central

intelligence agency.

Those are not my words;

those are the fbi's words.

But instead of actually

sending those emails,

In many cases

they wrote them as drafts

In a gmail account

they both had access to,

And that way they

could both log on

and check the draft folder,

Never having

to actually hit "send."

It's very embarrassing

for the obama administration

And for its

national security command.

It's troubling because

There are laws

that the fbi has to follow,

And he has the right

To be protected

from an unwarranted,

Unjustified investigation

by the fbi or anyone.

People don't really know

how they're being monitored,

And they think, hey,

if it's working,

If we keep stopping

another 9/11,

Then it's--then it's

quote "worth it."

The greatest fear that I have

regarding the outcome

For america of these disclosures

is that nothing will change.
