Indentured servitude?(Letter to the editor)
In Andrew C. McCarthy's recent article on the dispute over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and executive power ("How to 'Connect the Dots,'" Jan. 30), he writes about a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report that "casts doubt on the administration's core [legal] contentions." McCarthy dismisses the report in part by noting that the "media have treated the report as beating special weight because the CRS is a nonpartisan entity. But that does not mean the CRS is objective. 'The sole mission of CRS,' it explains on its website, 'is to serve the United States Congress.'"
