But the major difference is that I do the the wins that the police departments achieve. Because they do not operate in secrecy. Unfortunately, because the CIA does operate in such secrecy there is no fixing the CIA. You cannot fix what you have no power over.

BTW, they make the same claims that you are making. Many people are no longer buying that scare tactic. Probably because many people are now becoming the target of their secrecy and will not tolerate being labeled the problem, when they are not the problem. Same goes for the FBI.

Does it mean we may sacrifice some safety for freedom? Quite possibly, but if this is an either or choice, I choose freedom over safety. We can always construct new entities that increase the security aspects.
