While getting into specifics of collection shouldn't necessarily be public discussion, as it renders those collections effectively useless (think the old school mafia knowing what they can and can not say to be rendered into evidence in court), a framework is definitely a necessity. There is already a framework in place, but it doesn't address what the public concerns are. We should publicly answer questions like: -Is it okay to collect intelligence on foreign governments? -Is it okay to collect on allies? -What are the boundary markers for the government abusing its power? -Can we amend the constitution to reflect privacy concerns of the 21st century? -How many civilian casualties are the threshold for being a tolerable amount in America? Just questions to get you thinking about things. I feel like the majority of people's indignant outrage, if not translated into action in fixing a perceived problem, is passively accepting the status quo.
