Beware when they authorize a 'special' operation


When things get tough the higher authorities authorize special operations to counter a crisis that cannot be dealt with by normal maens. However, when the crisis is over they apply the old rules and punish the heroes. I think the same lesson is illustrated by Prince of the City. Can anyone think of other examples of this in other films or in actual current events?

The old 'We didn't order anything like that' ruse.
