Indeed. But government is also a process and in this case I think it is fair to say that the process is leading to good outcomes (transparency, accountability).

It doesn't seem like enough. The PATRIOT act has been on the books for 20+ years now and we only rarely get a peek at what it's being used for. James Clapper (in)famously lied to Congress[1] and still got to keep his job, so I'm not sure about accountability either.
