Dallas59 ~:” I still want to see a list of the terror plots that they have prevented. WITH NAMES AND COUNTRY of origin. Case closed.”

Exactly !!
This is an organization which is supposed to be supervized by the Senate Foreign Intelligence Committee .
Since Diane Fienstein ,committee chair of that committee , doesn’t foster any warm feelings of security to my mind ,
I believe NSA is basicly unsupervised and has no meaningful oversight .
Obviously , they can , and have , ‘fluffed’ the committee in the past , and continue to do so now .
Obviously , the organization has by its own authorization , and by its own public admission , strayed from its intended purpose .
Instead of useful foreign intelligence regarding terrrorism , it has redirected its’ own
information gathering meta-data resources to American citizens on American soil.
McConnell’s suggestion that if ‘we have done nothing wrong that we then have nothing to worry about’ is beyond absurd !!
McCain must be sharing his meds with McConnell. They are both the ‘useful idiots’ that Lenin spoke of so highly .
It means that our own government believes that we are the potential terrorists either now , or in the future.

#1) That means that when we have ‘known terrorists’ who can be identified through profiling of extreme beliefs,and
#2) who already acknowledge a history of commiting atrocious acts by are ignored , by fiat of our government
#3) and that resource is then re-directed towards the general American citizenry
#4) that this secret organization maintains a list of American contacts on its citizen population,
#5) then the government clearly believes that we are the potential terrorists .. What !! (say that again, out loud !!)

And it is our own government, the current administration, that continues to thrive on this data , obtained in violation of Constitutional standards
and encourages this continued information gathering and preparations of lists of associates.

Provide a list of the terror plots that they have prevented. WITH NAMES AND COUNTRY of origin. Case closed.”!!
No list ,.. no continued funding !
