To say that the program did not work in other instances is not a reason. Just because sometimes it didn’t work doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked in other cases. The government claims it worked to prevent a subway bombing. And I don’t think my privacy, even if it goes against the constitution is more important then my security. And If the government wants to target certain groups it can do so regardless if they have these programs or not. The IRS program did not say that the conservative groups did anything wrong, it simply singled them out to be audited. I am a republican but just like by Drone strikes I believe some stuff are necessary for security.
