Senator Patrick Leahy, NSA 54 Terrorist Plots Claim
During a Senate hearing, Patrick Leahy grills General Alexander over the claim that 54 terrorist plots were thwarted by NSA surveillance. Alexander admits that only 13 of those cases had a "nexus" to the U.S. and that the actual number of plots stopped by Section 215 may be as low as one or two.
