To the Editor:
    Although it's easy to lose sight of it in the river of scandals, our NSA's core mission is Military Signals Intelligence. If--as president Obama has told us--the rise of ISIS caught us by surprise, the NSA has proven incompetent in its core mission. The debate America needs to be having is not whether the NSA should be given an ever larger role in our lives. Rather, we should consider whether we're being served for the billions we're spending. I think it's clear that we are not.
