It depends on which organization they're in. Plenty of them think of their job as legal PR, finding the loosest precedent they can to justify the organizations actions as accepted and legal. I've never understood why departments are reporting to themselves and not an independent inspector. Granted, politicians and the people they appoint will do anything to justify their actions, even across organizations, but it might open the door for political opponents to call each other out, on their bad actions.
