Don't forget about Keith B. Alexander, the director of the NSA at that time.

He testified to congress that this program helped foil 54 terror plots. Weeks later, he conceded that it was helpful in "only one or two".

We later found out there was basically just one, and it wasn't a terror plot; it was a Somali-born taxi driver living in San Diego who attempted to send $8,500 to a Somali terror group.

But the damage was done. The headlines blared from his initial testimony about the NSA using this program to thwart 50+ terror plots, but there was a fraction of that coverage correcting it.

Clapper's perjury may be more blatant, but Gen. Alexander's is pretty galling too. They both should've been charged.
