Here I disagree.

We are a republic. The proper mechanism here is to hold our representatives accountable. To me it seems absurd to say that "everybody should KNOW" about every intelligence program.

Accountable for what? A couple of days ago nobody even had a reason to complain.

And what the hell does "accountable" even mean? So long as they "merely" act unethically, not illegally, there really isn't any way that we can realistically hold them accountable other than to say "In a few years we are going to try to fire you... if we remember too."
