Rhetorical bait and switch by Alexander. The uproar is over CONUS to CONUS communication. The general referenced a CONUS to OCONUS transmitted communication that was intercepted.

Come on folks FOCUS.

The head of the NSA named a specific plot that was intercepted and stopped

unless all those plotters are in prison or dead, now they know they were compromised and they will find another way to communicate

That is DAMAGE

They didnt get this information from Snowden

YUP! And while we're at it....Back in 2006, USAToday revealed what the NSA was up to. Since then the program FAILED to identify and/or prevent the Times Square bomber, the Underwear bomber, Hassan and Boston...and that's just off the top of my head. The subway bomb plot originally was purported to have been thwarted by CONUS to CONUS intercepts, but I believe that was walked back last week.
