NSA vs the Staasi

[Jim Hackett II]

[Speculation]
I am struck by the idea that as the primary and sort of approved writer about the NSA, a Mr. Bamford, has some amazing ability to penetrate the veil.
In his first NSA book he in effect asked if the idea of a govt. agency having the ability to spy on its' own citizens was a good idea in any functional democracy.
In the latest book (all of which are to me only limited hangouts) he takes the idea a little further.
But not far enough for me.

Why cannot some other author be allowed to tell more of the truth than Mr. Bamford has done?
James Loftus? Clearance? By whom?


ONI also, but the information for ONI is much harder to find....
OK I'm done speculating and I would not be offended at all if the mods move this post to a more appropriate place.

Thanks
Jim
Oh and if Staasi was wrong and it was, how can the NSA not be wrong?
By so called oversight?
BS....throw open the vaults to the sunlight.
And Suitland and that funny place in Arizona Fort whatyacallit, and the Utah new storage site and on and on.....
A democracy need this level of secrecy?
BS...
