Spy vs. spy

Dear members of Congress from North Carolina,

Is this what you all have in mind when you talk about accountability in government? It looks like business as usual for Republicans, but then again, Republicans aren't supposed to be in charge.

Pretty disgusting if you ask me.

What started as a temporary fix in response to the terrorist attacks has turned into a dependency that calls into question whether the federal workforce includes too many people obligated to shareholders rather than the public interest -- and whether the government is still in control of its most sensitive activities. In interviews last week, both Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and CIA Director Leon Panetta said they agreed with such concerns.
