Joyce gave limited details on the foiled plots. In the stock exchange plot, he said, the NSA monitored an extremist in Yemen who was in contact with an operative in the United States.

In the subway plot, he said, the NSA intercepted an email from a terrorist in Pakistan in 2009.

Bait and switch testimony. NOBODY cares that we have programs to monitor the international communications of foreign actors. This is what NSA is paid to do. The issue at hand is that the NSA has at least one program that monitors the domestic communications of AMERICAN CITIZENS. Let's hear if THAT program unmasked any terrorist plots.
