This is an interesting subject and worth looking into. That said, my experience has been that anytime someone working on a piece of a major project doesn't get the outcome they are looking for, they get a little upset. Sometimes the very satisfying tactical or operational-level efforts (e.g. prosecutions) have to be put on hold for more significant, long-term strategic lines of operations. At the end of the day, this decision was the administration's to make. Unless convincing evidence surfaces to the contrary, I'm willing to accept that the Obama Administration's conduct with regard to Hezbollah was done in the context of more complete information than we now have or the Project Cassandra folks possessed, and that it was a good-faith effort. That's hard for me to say because I deeply dislike Hezbollah and would like to crush them utterly, but like I said, sometimes the satisfaction has to wait.
