Yes, I agree with your point. And this is where it gets weird again: if these guys are really so good, why do they consistently put new powers in place that will inevitably be abused down the road? It's a dissonance that's hard to ignore. Maybe this sort of dissonance is just part and parcel of politics and government -- compromise and all that. I don't know. But it appears to me that the country is drifting and the good guys keep messin' up.
