Jensen is not as far as any of us are aware, a spy.

Perhaps trying to make sure there aren't morality based repercussions takes the sting out of future blackmail attempts on other successful businessfolk would be a better strategy for national security than, I dunno, briefing the New York Times and trying to make it as miserable as possible?

But sure maybe the CIA is just woefully incompetent, disorganised and accountability free in pursuing this national security goal of blackmail resistance. Or perhaps this is not the best theory as to what is going on.

There's a really, really good reason we keep this kind of moral judgement private, "between you and your rabbi" as Feynmann put it.
