OK, so it was the 1974 Church Committee, but bear with me.
I've spent a fascinating evening diving into some documents relating to domestic spying, Presidential powers, and Congressional oversight. Initially I thought I'd make a few pithy points, but the more I read the more I realized that the latest domestic spying debate is part of a story that spans back to Roosevelt, Truman, and something called the Church Committee. Have you heard of it? I hadn't.
Now that you're here - If you haven't done so, at least read the findings of the Church Commission below. They'll sound eerily familiar to you. Though, Good luck on getting our current Congressional leadership to let a report like this come through.
