Note the timing of the release of that document *very* carefully.

Con-gresspeople seem to think this is OK as long as they "control" these people.

They simply don't get it.

No one controls data fetishists.

You could make a case that for data fetishists "democracy," even of the kind practices in the US is the enemy.

"How dare elected representatives ask how many US citizens we spy on, like they have some right to know such things.*"

*As one of them might put it to their friends.
