I will give my views on this.

Use a separation of powers approach.
Leave the collection of raw data with the NSA.
Leave the arresting of people with the FBI.
Check the org chart: Both are under the President.
Some separation of powers you have there.

I will put it this way, technical the Supreme Court Judges are servants of the US President.

Where do you get this weird reading of the Constitution? No they are not.
Anymore than members of Congress are servants of the president. They are
independent branches of the Government.


Members of Congress *are* servants of the president. All US citizens are.

Check international law then trace back the money they are paid.

One advantage of not being an American is that I do not need to yes sir statements about US law. The US Constitution is basically a bluff, it has worked so far but it is still a bluff. Within a few years of the whites leaving a lot of Britain's other ex-colonies had suspended their constitutions. The USA is the exception.

Cough, cough... you were saying?



Providing the US President is the only person in charge of both the FBI and the NSA there is sufficient separation. A close eye needs to be kept on orders from the President and the interface between the two organisations. Fortunately Congressmen and Senators can read documents such as Presidential orders.
