How many of those terrorist plots were foiled by sifting through all the world's emails, or tapping cellphone networks?

Versus how many were uncovered by good field work, and agent contacts?

I doubt that we will know that for years (if ever). Kinda bad policy to let the bad guys know how you are catching them don't ya think?

The open border is an issue many of us think should have been resolved already. Unfortunately that isn't the case.

What are you trying to hide?

[gwano]

How many terrorists have been killed or thwarted and information not released to the public?

[USRanger]

A better question would be....how many of them will attributed to the Bush administration?

Well here's another good question:

Are you doing any thing regarding terrorism that the CIA should actually be worried about??

[Anaxogoras]

Half of those things you list are charges, not convictions.

Remember, the oath of office is to defend and protect the constitution, not the American people, or the government, or anything else.

Red herring.

I don't like the "if you don't have anything to hide, why care?" attitude.

It's the same attitude used to justify those out-of-uniform unwarranted police break ins in the middle of the night...then the guy shoots a cop thinking he was a criminal and goes to jail for it.
