While we‘ve already seen multiple detailed analyses of why the NSA‘s bulk collection of email data under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act hasn‘t been particularly helpful in stopping any real terrorist attacks on the US, there are still other NSA programs as well.

The report finds, exactly as everyone else has, that the Section 215 effort was only helpful in finding one guy who sent some money to Somalia.
