Did you even read that article? Out of the "tens of attacks" (intended for the US, not planned in the US), the big brags are: Padilla, the Lackawanna 8, and the Portland, Or training camps.
We'll even add the "terrorist" truckers license scam as a success. Wow! How exactly did any of the things I mentioned (Patriot Act, wiretaps, library records, ISP raids, phone records.) help in foiling these attacks (Hint, they weren't. They were found using regular investigative techniques, mainly tips from the general public, and systems in place for decades.) The undercutting of civil liberties is not a simple or temporary thing. They don;t ever give them back once they take them. And my constitution protects me from even the best intended violations.
