>Publicly approved? Publicly approved? The amount of rage-induced facepalming this causes is immense. No one in the public has known what they're up to, and Congressional attempts to get insight have been stymied and shut down. No one knew, that is, until Edward Snowden did HIS duty to country. This is one of the great weaknesses in how we carry out things in a "democratic" society, imo. We have elections, and use the election to justify everything that happens thereafter as being part of the "public will".
