Congress shocked to discover the existence of "intelligence gathering organizations" at work in the US.

The wisest of my High School teachers once told me:

"Show me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are"

Mr. Woodhouse got it, The NSA gets it, the President gets it, but Congress seems to live in an alternate reality.

To paraphrase a well known movie:
Inspector Congresscritter: I'm shocked, shocked that spying is going on in here!
(an aide hands Congresscritter a stack of intelligence reports)
Aide: Your intelligence reports, sir.
Inspector Congresscritter: (sotto voce) Oh. thank you very much.
(aloud)
Inspector Congresscritter: Everybody out at once!
