Because their cause was just in the opinion of the powers that be
Only one of them was a citizen, and only for a short time. Why would the NSA be spying on noncitizens, or people with connections to terrorists?
Who has time for that when all them right wingers are running around loose?
They were (are) studiously ignoring them and others like them.
Well they did stop the Hutaree.......oh, wait. LOL

Too busy looking for tea-partiers.
Because it’s not their job to catch people. That’s the FBI and now, DHS.
Because the purpose of the NSA center, as managed by Idi Amin Obama, is not security.
Somehow 12 millions ilegals know who to avoid the BP, the IRS, and the NSA.
The should teach.
Not Verizon customers? You know that is what Obama will say, and it will give him a reason to want to track EVERY phone company, if it isnt already being done
who says they didn't know???
.they were not members of the Tea Party or the Patriot Guard they were Muslim we do not profile Muslims at the NSA
We really rode the Russians about them going after the Chechan muzzies.
They didn't post jihadist videos on their Facebook accounts, for example.
Or do something stupid like murder three guys they knew.
The NSA did absolutely everything they could with that one.
Better Question: Why didn’t they catch the 9/11 terrorists?
NSA was listening to bin Laden’s central command phone - for 3 years.
They tracked the known (to them) associates from Yemen to the US.
NSA monitored traffic and knew an attack was eminent.
Two of the terrorists stayed in a motel a couple of miles from NSA headquarters.
NSA had both the technological means and legal permission to stop them - and did not.
Why do they need more money, more tech and more legal authority?
BTW: NSA has had unfettered access to all communications data - phone, fax, internet - in the US for some time.
This is all in a documentary from NOVA:

I should have added that NSA listened in on conversations from the terrorist to the AQ command while they were in the US.
Because they were too busy looking for terrorists. You know. Gun-toting, bible thumping tea party patriots, especially armed veteran oath keepers.
Bingo! Jim wins a free audit from IRS, and a free orifice exam by NSA.
.... What are you talking about? ..... They DID catch them!!! .... Don't you remember the big shoot out and mayhem?
.... Of course it would have been a lot better if they caught them before they blew up all of those innocent people in Boston, But, as you know, prevention of terrorism isn't the NSA's strongest suit. Their strongest suit is similar to the IRS's strongest suit .... they are both tasked with the prevention and proliferation of Conservative causes and independent thought. You know ... destroying the same people and groups that prevent this country from developing a "One Party" political system that the Prez with a fez so desperately dreams of!
Obama didn’t want to?
