NSA Director, Congress and Monitoring

Thanks to Bruce Schneier for pointing out the testimony from NSA Director Michael Hayden, in which he talks about how the NSA worked pre-9/11 and post. And, as Bruce pointed out "...[he] tells Congress that they can best help him by going back to their constituents and finding out where the public wants to draw the line between liberty and safety."

Believe it or not, there *are* actually a few government employees who actually try to live up to the oath they took to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States". Granted, they are rarer than Bush family members at a MENSA convention, but there are a few out there.
