My argument here is unrelated to the current FISA circus, but it is still relevant: that government personnel who oversee, order and carry out such surveillance on INNOCENT, LAW-ABIDING Americans should be subject to routine mental and psychological examinations. Standards must be developed so that government officials act responsibly. If a program like this already exists, it's clearly not effective.
We only have to look at recent history: Waco, Ruby Ridge, the Bundy Ranch. In each of these instances, while the "targets" (who eventually became victims), were not completely innocent and whose behavior raised many flags, the response of government personnel was beyond what sane, rational people would do. The dangerous sociopaths and psychopaths who happen also to be employed in our intelligence, military and law-enforcement agencies need to be identified and terminated. These people terrorize Americans you'll never hear about, destroy individual liberty, and get away with far more heinous behavior than is believable - all in their official capacity.They're criminals.
