I am almost positve, that people said the same thing when the CIA, was created.

And some of those people were right. Take a look at the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover turned the organization into a massive demostic spying agency, more concerned about Reds, than criminals, People like Albert Einstein, Hemingway, Paul Robeson, Civil Rights and Union activists, academics,writers and others were more dangerous in Hoover's mind than the Mafia. I believe that GW's heart in the right place, but if history is a marker, this thing can grow into a very frightening organization, unless there are some Constitutional protections attached to them.
