Good ideas, and ideas that I support 100%, but in practice it seems to be impossible. IIRC we still haven't gotten a full audit of the Pentagon / DOD, and a majority of their operations are probably a bit more public than the NSA's or other secretive-by-design bureaucracy.
How would we be able to audit an organization (in a timely manner) that puts up as many roadblocks as possible?
The Fed needs to be audited, too. As well as their staff, starting at the very top.
It seems in the government, secrecy and corruption is the name of the game. That's unacceptable and needs to end. The US taxpayer should demand full transparency of all organizations including intelligence services, and the agencies in question should have no idea but to fully comply except in genuine, individual cases of legitimate national security, which would be assessed by an independent reviewer.
