I think their problem is that the intelligence world is used to acting like arrogant cowboys running roughshod over the rule of law with no oversight. If they want to kidnap someone or steal something or assassinate people they usually just do it. And they always get their way, license to kill is a real thing. But in this situation their targets are highly public and sympathetic so they don't seem to know how to hold themselves back for the sake of PR. It will hopefully be their undoing.
