NSA Phone Records Played "Little Or No Role" In Stopping Terror Plots "The National Security Agency’s massive collection of Americans’ phone records has “played little or no role” in the disruption of dozens of terrorist plots, contrary to Obama administration assertions, said two U.S. senators who have access to classified information. "In a statement Wednesday, Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.) disputed recent statements by senior administration officials that a top-secret NSA surveillance program to collect tens of millions of domestic calling records from U.S. phone companies has helped thwart more than 50 terrorist plots in the United States and abroad. "They said it is unclear why federal agents do not simply obtain a court order for the phone records of individual terrorist suspects rather than creating a massive government database of records." - Washington Post (June 19, 2013) This last paragraphs begs the question: WHY are the phone and Internet communications of virtually EVERY AMERICAN being stored by the NSA? I would suggest that you merely "use your imagination" if you would like to get the answer.
