Comments

They show contempt for civil liberties but claim to operate within the law. Since GCHQ is specifically mentioned (and pretty much exempted) in most surveilance related laws this seems plausible.

There is weakness in the oversight that GCHQ is supposed to have.

No, they are governed by laws and they appear to be obeying those laws.
