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.

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.

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

Yes, I do.

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

No I meant limit.

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?
