While the government initially claimed that mass surveillance on
Americans prevented more than 50 terror attacks, the NSA’s deputy
director John Inglis walked that position back all the way to saying
that – at the most – one (1) plot might have been disrupted
by the bulk phone records collection alone. In other words, the NSA
can’t prove that stopped any terror attacks. The government greatly exaggerated an alleged recent terror plot for political purposes (and promoted the fearmongering of serial liars).
The argument that recent terror warnings show that NSA spying is
necessary is so weak that American counter-terrorism experts have
slammed it as “crazy pants”.
