Is anybody going to believe whatever stats the trot out? And, perhaps more to the point, are they going to show us <i>any</i> evidence of a situation where this indiscriminate collection of data resulted in stopping a plot, where getting the data with a (non-general, <i>specific</i>) warrant tied to a specific suspect wouldn't have had the same result? So far, everything I've seen where they've talked about a "success" for this program has been something where, from what I can tell, they could have achieved the same end without needing to hoover up all this data, the vast majority of which is irrelevant (assuming you believe that most people are not terrorists or whatever).
