I've read everything he says except for the last sentence; I haven't seen anything yet about what the means were of uncovering the plot. There is some disagreement about just how close they were to carrying it out; some of the folks leaking this stuff are contradicting each other. The media generally are playing up the idea that they were "days away" from implementing it, but of course that's more sensational. Apparently a lot of the specific information came from arrests made in Pakistan, but it's not clear yet how the Pakistanis knew to arrest the guys. BTW, nobody *objects* to the NSA program or the banking program, of course, only to their being used without proper judicial oversight.
