This story seems to be that Italian intelligence could the suspects? I don't see how that pertains to the seemingly illegal wiretapping and spying by the NSA of late - they didn't catch the italian terrorists or having anything to do with the capture.
I still believe that it is bad to start trading our privacy and freedom for the argument of security, because there is no guarantee that we will get security - but there is a guarantee that we have lost those freedoms and privacy.
As far as it goes for whether the media is intentionally ignoring a story? Perhaps - but they seem to release/publish stories based on splash value - an actual attack has more splash than a foiled plot, and actual breaches of law by the president and NSA have a large splash value too (especially right when the Patriot act is being voted on again...)
But, maybe you are right that the story isn't being as reported as it should be. So are many important stories... but average people just aren't interested in them I guess?
