This is the downside to having immense intel capabilities. Its the same thing with the IRS. They are still having enormous system upgrade problems from their old IBM 1960's mainframes to a modern network. Computer Associates has a multibillion contract and just hasn't been able to make the new system work because the information they have to program and sync is overwhelming.

I call bullshit. If you want to suggest that the NSA knows everything there is to know about America citizens - I'm in agreement. If you further want to suggest they are overwhelmed, to a certain extent, by the data - I agree. American intelligence outside its own borders is an oxymoron. You don't need to look further than Iraq for proof of that statement.
I'll say again the only thing the NSA or any American intelligence agency is good at is spying on Americans.
Oh, and the IRS is illegally collecting taxes.
