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.

There is no possible way you could know if your first paragraph contains the merest grain of truth. I agree that this judge has done the honorable thing in resigning, though if he truly is convinced the law has been broken, isn't the Bench a singularly effective forum to effect change?
It is almost certain you and I are both missing something. I have no doubt there are many things going on now and over the last 10-20 years regarding surveillance and information gleaned from it the average American will never know about...
