I think it would be more appropritate to REQUIRE the government to consult with privacy experts, rather than recomend. They drop even the recomendation and get to select their own expert? Who they going to get as their "expert" Someone from the J Edgar Hoover school of wire tapping? This administration puts people who admit to lying to Congress in roles that require them to report to Congress. What are the chances Poindexter has changed his ways?
