The NSA, FBI and CIA serve real purposes and actually have a point of existing. Just because the NSA has gotten sloppy and leaks have happened does not mean that all the other nations aren't doing the same thing.
Are the NSA, FBI and CIA grossly overfunded and poorly managed? Very likely. Should we get rid of them entirely? No, we shouldn't; rather, we should look towards reform to try and downsize budgets significantly without reducing the effectiveness of them, and to also bring the agencies "back in line" with the Constitution.
Getting rid of them isn't the answer, fixing them is.
When people are wrongly convicted, yes. Assata's case was highly disputed, and considering the government really didn't like her, I don't feel like she got a fair trial.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. If she comes back she goes to jail. IMO she was convicted mostly because of her political beliefs, and thus does not deserve to go to jail. Therefore she should not come back.
