I agree, and it may well be warranted in this case.
I think we, as citizens, have the right to know about these programs. However, making the programs public knowledge gives terrorists a very valuable tool. It's a catch 22 in my opinion, and there is no easy answer.

legion, making this program public has had zero impact on enforcement. Another reason to not trust this president, the manufactured anger, the deceptive claim that outing warrantless searches has somehow made America less secure.
If you are a terrorist, you know that your phone can be tapped, you email monitored, etc. etc. Whether it is done properly through the FISA court or illegally without any oversight or record would be of little concern to you.
Maybe I'm missing something. Tell me how knowing about this secret warrantless program could possible help terrorists.
