Proof Positive that the Intelligence Oversight System is Hopelessly Compromised

Balkinization — Proof Positive that the Intelligence Oversight System is Hopelessly Compromised:

Now that the Harman/Muller let­ters have been declas­si­fied, it is evi­dent that there was no basis for clas­si­fy­ing them in the first place. And yet they were clas­si­fied, as a mat­ter of course. And the clas­si­fi­ca­tion con­tin­ued, even after the CIA pro­gram was announced by the President. Representative Harman didn’t do any­thing about that, either … because the Intelligence over­sight com­mit­tees are entirely beholden to the agen­cies they are sup­posed to be overseeing.
