That doesn't seem controversial to me.

I wish the same were true of all federal organizations though. For example, CIA regulates itself with its own supervision too.

Other orgs do it too. I don't think they do it well.

> CIA regulates itself with its own supervision too

That's not true lol. There is a gigantic supervisory apparatus constantly breathing down the IC's neck, including but not limited to your very own elected Congressperson's investigative powers.

[mannanj]

Ah ok. Well I don't see it limiting their misconduct and behavior, do you?

[estearum]

Yes, I do.

Perhaps you mean to say: I don't see it eliminating their misconduct and behavior.

[mannanj]

No I meant limit.

[estearum]

Well then unfortunately you just have no clue what you’re talking about.

The notion that the CIA is “not limited” by checks and balances is beyond laughable.

How many people have you met who work there? Ever talked with someone about the limitations (or lack thereof) on their work?

I will bet the answers are zero and no. Am I wrong?

[mannanj]

I think you are pretty Ad Hominem oriented in speaking with me, and I don't like that.

I have first-hand experienced being non-consensually preyed upon and experimented on by that organization, and am traumatized from my experience with them.

Yes I've taken the appropriate escalations and saught support from my elected officials. So far, no relief. My experience dictates that most people are quick to laugh and ridicule me, like you and your hostility and Ad Hominem style logical fallacy based messaging. I think you are just a astroturfed style personality on the web and if you didn't mean to be hostile, I hope you know that you certainly came across that way. edit: I see this is not an engagement that is serving me in any way, and is hurtful and abusive over substantive or providing value. I'm going to check out now and wish you luck at whatever it is you seek.
