It's also irrelevant. We're here to talk about their crime spree, not any supposed good works done during.

  It's definitely NOT irrelevant. At some point (say, alien terrorist invasion that'd kill everyone on Earth), most people will decide it's a worthwhile tradeoff. If it only stopped one small bomb against a concrete statue, people would decide the other way. There is certainly a crossover point. The crossover is probably not even close to being reached, but discussion about it is certainly relevant. Many people believe they'd be under major attacks without these secret program. Dismissing their claims doesn't further the discussion.

    I take your point. But if there's a credible threat, they should say what it is and allow the public to decide whether the law should be amended. In all probability, there is no credible threat. That's why they choose to do this stuff without consent, and why they've been blocking the courts from ruling on it for years. And this is more of the same -- more manufactured bogeymen, more obfuscation. They want to talk about anything other than their lies and their crimes.
