Will lawmakers hold the NSA accountable?

By now it is rather clear that the NSA spied on Americans and lied to Congress about doing so.  There are new claims that some analysts ignored restrictions put in place to prevent them from spying on citizens.  Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has said that she is "reviewing each of these incidents in detail."  Mike Rogers, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee is also reviewing the allegations.  What shocks Brendan Spaar is that in a few cases, NSA officials or contractors used agency surveillance tools or data to spy on people in which they had romantic interests.  One thing is for sure, our elected officials will not hold the NSA accountable for any wrongdoing.
