In fact, its well past time to do this.

Our "Intelligence" Agencies should have been razed to the ground in 2000 after they blew 9-11,
AND certainly after they Stove Piped the Iraq "Intelligence",
but no.

The ONLY chance we had for Cleaning House was in Jan. 2009 when Newly Elected President Obama took office with a Mandate for CHANGE from the American People,
but he left the system, and most of the personnel in place and in power.
And NOW he Circles the Wagons to PROTECT General "LIAR" Clapper.

So WHAT can we really DO to "tame the NSA behemoth" at this point?

Elect Democrats?
