Remember Citizen Padilla?
Padilla lost one of his suits for damages via a "use of military force" free card regarding constitutional liability there. Meanwhile, another prosecution for disclosing classified information (charging for the id of the agent is most defensible), which is harder to stomach when the Administration blocks suits like Padilla. Limited disclosure.
