- Terrorist_Surveillance_Program abstract "The Terrorist Surveillance Program was an electronic surveillance program implemented by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks. It was part of the President's Surveillance Program, which was in turn conducted under the overall umbrella of the War on Terrorism. The NSA, a signals intelligence agency, implemented the program to intercept al Qaeda communications overseas where at least one party is not a U.S. person. In 2005 The New York Times disclosed that technical glitches resulted in some of the intercepts including communications which were "purely domestic" in nature, igniting the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy. Later works, such as James Bamford's The Shadow Factory, describe how the nature of the domestic surveillance was much, much more widespread than initially disclosed. In a 2011 New Yorker article, former NSA employee Bill Binney said that his colleagues told him that the NSA had begun storing billing and phone records from "everyone in the country."The program was named the Terrorist Surveillance Program by the George W. Bush administration in response to the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy following disclosure of the program. It is claimed that this program operated without the judicial oversight mandated by Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and legal challenges to the program are currently undergoing judicial review. Because the technical specifics of the program have not been disclosed, it is unclear if the program is subject to FISA. It is unknown if this is the original name of the program; the term was first used publicly by President Bush in a speech on January 23, 2006.On August 17, 2006, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled the program unconstitutional and illegal. On appeal, the decision was overturned on procedural grounds and the lawsuit was dismissed without addressing the merits of the claims, although one further challenge is still pending in the courts. On January 17, 2007, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales informed U.S. Senate leaders by letter that the program would not be reauthorized by the president, but would be subjected to judicial oversight. "Any electronic surveillance that was occurring as part of the Terrorist Surveillance Program will now be conducted subject to the approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court," according to his letter.On June 6, 2013, it was revealed that the Terrorist Surveillance Program was replaced by a new NSA program, referred to by its codeword, PRISM.Even if the laws of surveillance are not always clear, the NSA still works to protect the country from terrorism. There have been multiple terrorist plots that have been prevented because of the NSA’s surveillance and other events for which the surveillance and information proven to be useful. One example of a terrorist attack that the NSA helped prevent involved Najibullah Zazi. Zazi and an accomplice, Adis Medunjanun, planned to bomb the New York City subway system in September 2009. The NSA interrupted an email that Zazi sent to a contact in Pakistan asking how to make an explosive. This email was given to the FBI who opened an investigation into Zazi and started surveillance on him. The NSA later obtained his phone number and checked for accomplices, by going through their phone records, thus discovering his relationship with Medunjanun. The FBI was already watching Medunjanun; however, the information given to them by the NSA confirmed his terrorist involvement. They then discovered that Medunjanun and Zazi traveled to Pakistan together to be trained by al-Qaeda. The two men were arrested and charged with the intent to bomb the subway system. This incident is not the only attack that the NSA has helped prevent.Basaaly Saeed Moalin was charged in 2013 with giving material support to an al-Queda cell based in Somalia named al-Shabaab. The NSA discovered Moalin when his phone number was flagged with having contact with known terrorists overseas. They gave the information to the FBI who discovered that Moalin was providing money to fund extremist activities in Somalia. Khalid Ouazzani is another example. Ouazzani was charged with promising support to al-Queda and providing them with materials for their attacks against the United States. The NSA discovered Ouazzani by interrupting contact between Ouazzani, who was in the U.S., and an extremist in Yemen. Ouazzani was included in helping form a plot that was going to bomb then New York Stock Exchange. Another threat that the NSA helped prevent involved David Headley, a United States citizen living in Chicago. He was eventually convicted on charges of terrorism, in which he later admitted to being involved. Headley was involved in an attack in Mumbai that killed 160 people. The NSA became aware of him when they intercepted communications by him planning an attack on a Danish newspaper.".
