In theory a person who believes that the NSA is engaged in illegal activity can, rather than laking classified information to the press, take evidence of the wrongdoing to the FBI. Inspectors General are also a thing. They can also go to their congresspeople.
In theory.
That someone has to resort to leaking to the press to achieve accountability is a bug in the system, it's not how things are meant to work.
- pierrebai 4y agoThe press and government are two distinct powers. All that you listed, FBI, attorney, Congress, are all part of the government, which is the one which controls and directs what the NSA does. Leaking to the press is not a bug. Seeking maximum distance from what you denounce is sane. You have the same problems in the private sector, where you are directed to voice your complain to HR. Secrecy is a poison.
