http://warontherocks.com/2016/03/open-letter-on-donald-trump-from-gop-national-security-leaders/Apologies about the caps but I just cut and pasted. Signatories including Michael Chertoff are included (how transparent for once!).
snip: Mr. Trumps own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world. Furthermore, his expansive view of how presidential power should be wielded against his detractors poses a distinct threat to civil liberty in the United States. Therefore, as committed and loyal Republicans, we are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head. We commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.
