#1 Will this include taking out agents and infrastructure? If it doesn't it's useless.

Likely attempting to ensure things can withstand legal-warfare attacks.

#7 If you are talking about applying sufficient "operational latitude" for field personnel in "attacking the infrastructure", then there will have to be a lot of legal ground properly prepared.

Most cases, there will be some PDD's and memoranda from the DCI endorsed by the AG will be first and foremost. And possibly a classified EO if they need large scale issues to be nailed down.

To me, this sounds like they finally cleared that gate, so routine 'infrastructure elements' will be just as 'at risk' from our activities as would be HVTs, assuming there were no other intel value to them.

The surprising thing is that it did take them this long to nail it down.
