"We" let it? "We" do not write, or vote on the legislation which allowed it, and also failed to hold these guy accountable.
The buck, and responsibility, stops with the House and Senate; the President is a puppet, and sometimes a puppet master. I just watched "All the President's Men" again. All branches of federal investigations were being manipulated by the White House. My how things have not changed.
With so many elected officials guilty of: insider trading, graft, affairs, and paying for prostitutes for themselves and others, and continue to be guilty of treason for the illegal use of our military for undeclared, strike first "wars"; there's only about 1% of them whose conduct is ethical.
Only when the Occupy movement gets it they
have to "get political" and be involved in elections, will there ever be a means to manifest the required changes.
