And if you look at the reports -- even the disclosures that Mr. Snowden has put forward -- all the stories that have been written, what you're not reading about is the government actually abusing these programs and listening in on people's phone calls or inappropriately reading people's emails. What you're hearing about is the prospect that these could be abused. Now, part of the reason they're not abused is because these checks are in place, and those abuses would be against the law and would be against the orders of the FISC.

Реальность:

The National Security Agency has overstepped their legal authority and broken privacy rules "thousands of times each year" since 2008, reports Bart Gellman of The Washington Post.

The official NSA audit from May 2012 found 2,776 incidents in the preceding 12 months, including access to or distribution of legally protected communications, and unauthorized collection.
One case found the FISA court, which oversees surveillance operations, did not learn about a new method of intelligence collection until many months after it was put in place.
Despite NSA quadrupling the number of oversight staff after some significant violations in 2009, the oversteps still increased throughout 2011 and 2012.
A Feb. 2012 incident found unlawful retention of more than 3000 files the FISA court ordered the NSA to destroy.

Это, заметим, не какие-нибудь там правозащитники - это внутренний аудит NSA. Т.е. это тысячи случаев, когда NSA нарушило свои собственные правила и регуляции, или директивы секретного суда. Это то, что внутри самого NSA считается абьюзом.
