> My solution? Take them to court, and establish clear oversights. This is what keeps getting said. I agree, but there's no proof that the Equations Group/TAO were conducting operations without oversight, so I fail to see why this is a big deal. The fact that the oversight that DOES exist consists of rubber-stamping is the fault of either ineffective overseers or unscrupulous intelligence officers. It has no bearing on the people writing the exploits. Those are absolutely real issues, but they don't apply to this case in any apparent way. I'm all for Intelligence reform but railing against the evils of the NSA when discussing a highly effective portion of its legitimate purpose just muddies the waters of the debate.
