It's a useful exercise analyzing the actual function of the NSA and comparing it against its charter. Is the NSA doing its chartered job? How well? Is it being effective? Does it have too much actual power?
It certain doesn't seem as if it has effective oversight in this matter, based on comments from congresspeople as to the level of information they are given.
In this instance, it seems as if the NSA is doing their job. In other instances... doesn't seem like it.
