“The Obama administration has announced the formation of a panel of “outside experts” to review the NSA’s surveillance practices. And a wide-ranging, diverse collection of experts they are; when it comes to institutional backgrounds and viewpoints, they span the entire spectrum from A to B. They remind me a bit of the space shuttle crew in an episode of The Simpsons: ‘They’re a colorful bunch …  There’s a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician.’  If you think all this insider involvement in policy represents ‘regulatory capture,’ or the corruption of an originally pristine system by campaign money and lobbyists, you’re missing the point.”
