When the power of US Senators is undermined, they tend to get very aggressive. The CIA’s apparent hacking of the Senate’s computer networks may even lead to the Department of Justice filing criminal charges against CIA officials. Although this reinforces the notion that the members of Congress expect special treatment, which infuriates most Americans, it also demonstrates those who are supposedly overseeing the CIA and the rest of our national security apparatus have no control over the black ops parts of these agencies. Consequently, it is ever more obvious that the national security agencies of the world need reigned in while these latest revelations may well lead to some significant action against those who decide to so blatantly skirt/violate our civil liberties. At the very least, our political leaders may be angered enough to start digging into what the CIA and NSA have actually been doing. Hopefully, this will lead to some more official answers as to what they have been doing wrong.
