I made it to the second paragraph. Anyone who believes the NSA can be controlled must also believe in the things they were told in school how the world works.

Yes but what are the chances of that happening when it's a case involving a man accused of supporting terrorists? This is exactly the purpose of the program, so there won't be much of an argument there. If anything this will set a precedent and cement over the program's 'usefulness'.
The question is why did they have to wait for the program to actually catch someone supporting terrorism before taking it to court?
Negative thoughts detected! Your comment is now being run through a text pattern recognizer to tie it up with your Facebook and your email account. God forbid you might have a stray creative thought somewhere ever, that may threaten our precious democracies.
