Patrick Leahy is a joke. After who knows how many years as Chair of the Senate's Judiciary Committee, he called in 2009 for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission on the US DOJ.
Such commissions are typically established after toppling a dictatorship. As one who colluded with the offending regime, Leahy should have resigned. Instead, he stayed on as Chair of the Judiciary Committee and totally forgot about the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission on the US DOJ...
Not exactly the right person to protect us against NSA....
I for one expect more effective help from Ecuador than Leahy and the US Congress in this matter...
