The chain of command relies on trust, trust that officials will tell the truth to those who oversee them. It seems to me that the chain of command is broken.
NSA officials lied to the public.
They lied to Congress.
If the allegations of procedural abuse are true, they have lied to and deceived every single mechanism that has been set up to oversee and control their operation.
They have gone rogue.
If this supposition is true, their actions go beyond simple criminality. This is treachery; treason and mutiny against the people of the United States.
Let us raise the hue and cry! Traitors! Traitors in our midst!
