AURaptor 1,121 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's probably on a need to know basis, and the Senate doesn't need to know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is precedent setting stuff IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 4,462 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is precedent setting stuff IMHO. Maybe in terms of how it is being confronted. In terms of conduct, I don't believe it is. These types know a lot of things that other people don't want them to know and, certainly don't want shared. That gives them great power. I think many of them believe they are above the law. This has been the attitude since Hoover and Helms. Yes, I realize Hoover was never DCI. Hopefully, you understand what I mean.

Yep...this is the CIA doing domestic spying. Should not happen. I don't care if it's the Senate or Joe Schmoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another aspect that really bothers me is, this attitude is finding it's way into other agencies. When the IRS chief testified before congress, his facial expressions did not hide his arrogance or, his contempt for oversight. The idea that they are not accountable to Congress nor the American people is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is, politics is far more important than governing on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
