The James Bamford article sent along by coderman is excellent.

I just noticed the article links to an interesting document.

Rockefeller Commission Report (RCR, 1977)
"REPORT ON INQUIRY INTO CIA-RELATED ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES"
http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1304974-report-on-inquiry-into-cia-related-electronic.html#document/p1

> A 1977 Justice Department report, obtained by reporter James
> Bamford in 1981 under the Freedom of Information Act, investigating
> criminal surveillance operations conducted by the CIA and NSA.

In 1975, the executive branch under President Gerald Ford initiated
its own investigation of the CIA's and the NSA's activities in
parallel with the larger committees in the legislature.  The report
Bamford shared is a (redacted) product of the President's Commission.
