situation room photo from the night of the bin laden raid? john brennan. you see in the upper right-hand corner. president obama's homeland security adviser taking part in one of the most important operations in american history. that man has now been stripped of his security clearance by a president seeking revenge. don lemon is here. and this is very interesting because on one level you could easily argue this is nothing, they don't need it, clapper will say it, hayden will say it, brennan may be saying it right now on tv for all i know. we don't use it anymore, it doesn't matter. but it compromises the people who are in there now in terms of using those men the way they used men who came before them. and on another level, don, it means everything. it means if this president doesn't like what you say he will come after you any way you can. >> i'm glad you put up that picture, chris. and i think you're right about that. but you said it doesn't hurt them. you know who it does hurt?
