NSA Chief Admits “Only One or Perhaps Two” Terror Plots Stopped by Spy Program

Liberty Blitzkrieg – by Mike

Pressed by the Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at an oversight hearing, Gen. Keith B. Alexander admitted that the number of terrorist plots foiled by the NSA’s huge database of every phone call made in or to America was only one or perhaps two — far smaller than the 54 originally claimed by the administration.  

– From Today’s Washington Times

“One or perhaps two.” Or perhaps zero. The guy has the nerve to say “perhaps.” How do you not know? What a bunch of lying assholes. How the heck does 54 turn into “one or two,” and I’ll tell you something else, I don’t believe the one or two figure for a minute. I mean there’s no way he would say “zero” when he is fighting to keep his petty little Stasi state intact. Furthermore, how about some details here. What was the one plot the NSA foiled? Some teenager throwing firecrackers on the White House lawn? These guys need to get lost already. From the Washington Times:

The Obama administration’s credibility on intelligence suffered another blow Wednesday as the chief of the National Security Agency admitted that officials put out numbers that vastly overstated the counterterrorism successes of the government’s warrantless bulk collection of all Americans’ phone records.

Mr. Leahy and Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Wisconsin Republican and author of the USA Patriot Act, which the government says allows bulk data collection, are working on a bill to roll back that authority.

Director of National IntelligenceJames R. Clapper denied that the number of plots foiled should be the sole metric by which the success of the program is measured.“I think there’s another metric here that’s very important. … I would call it the ‘peace of mind’ metric.”

The “peace of mind metric.” Are you fucking kidding me Clapper? That’s the best you could come up with? Yeah, I have an abundance of peace in my mind knowingperjuring sociopaths like you have access to my entire electronic history in real time. What a joke.

In Liberty,

  1. Great job now how bout crime, money laundering, child molestation used as sex toys, sex slavery, closed door meetings, drug and weapon trafficing. That would really be great and something we would be able to see the results. A claim would not do at all.

  2. “Only One or Perhaps Two” Terror Plots Stopped by Spy Program.”

    wow.

    They probably all got bonuses anyway.
