I would like to know how many are muslim terrorists, and how many are phoney FBI sting ops that wouldn’t exist except fr the Feds creating them.

They missed the underwear bomber despite his father’s warning and Nappy’s claim that “The system worked”.

On the day after 9-11, we all pretty agreed that we had loose some of our rights...to regain our safety.

WHAT?? WE? I agreed to no such thing. Without rights there is no safety.

Besides, obama shot Osama Bin Ladin, thereby ending the war on terror. How could there be any plots?

I agree. And they never go back and label them for what they truly were.

Fort Hood is a great example. They still call that guy a lone wolf even though he was talking high level terrorist operatives. (I believe it was found that he did)

The Michigan woman who was killed in Syria wasn’t a terrorist attack but it certainly had the potential.

Her father says he warned the FBI about her sham marriage to a Saudi and her growing radicalism.

He said at least 10 of the plots targeted the United States

Okay, so by placing us in a police state, they have been able to "thwart" less than one attack per year, since 9/11/2001 against the United States. The media has buried more attacks against the United States than that since 9/11 that were successful. I can't think of them all but I'm sure it's been more than ten.

Why is CAIR still operating after what’s already come to light about the co-conspirators associated with that organization?

With only ten “thwarted” plots, how hard would it be to just get a lawful court order to conduct legal wiretaps?

I thought it was 25-bazillion. And now they tell me it was only 50?

The underwear bomber was on the plane over Detroit on Christmas day. His attack was thwarted by passengers who observed him attempting to detonate the bomb.

Nanny Bloomberg blamed the Times Square bombing on “some angry white guy, probably upset over Obamacare passing”.

I listened to the testimony today about all the "safe guards" that are built into our surveillance program by the NSA. It all sounded very reasonable and proper and legal. The testimony was delivered by General Keith Alexander. He was very reassuring and firm in his conviction and delivery. If every thing he said is correct we have absolutely nothing to fear from this surveillance program.

There is only one "small problem." The NSA is part of the executive branch of government. The IRS and the Justice Department are also part of the executive branch of government which is headed by the President of the United States. The Executive has corrupted the IRS and the Justice Department. The IRS and the Justice Department have committed crimes against the people of the United States and Mexico. Yes, the ATF is part of the Executive Branch of government.

Only a Crack Head fool on LSD, a pocket full of Qualuds, Bennies, and a liberal arts degree from Berkley would think that an corrupt administration that has used the IRS, the Justice Department, the ATF, etc. in illegal and political witch hunts would magically decide to not use the most power full and secret branch of the Executive Department in an illegal and political fashion. Terrorists are a threat to our great nation. A corrupt Executive with the power of the NSA can do far greater harm to us than the terrorists. The multiple safeguards that General Alexander described are worthless if the Executive Branch of Government is corrupt. General Keith Alexander is either a liar or a fool.

Dio, am most concerned that NSA has the capability to spy on the other branches of government. NSA working with DOJ can manipulate as they did with James Rosen the FICA court to get data etc on CIA, congress , SCOTUS , Pentagon , Verizon hold the government contract. It is a violation of the seperation of powers!
