One small question though... Why weren't they tracking the thoughts of the Boston marathon bombers?
To me it's clear as day they will be "predicting" future actions. Not like minority report, but more like "You have a mental illness and you're a danger to the public."

Myself? I would look for the dirt on Obama, Clinton, Holder, Feinstein Alexander, and other top officials.
If there is any conspiracy to damage the US or the opponents of government officials, Snowden would be able to get proof. Maybe this is why Obama is sitting tight right now? He has been awfully quiet on the issue. I would imagine that they could track what Snowden did after the fact, once they realized what he was up to. But considering Snowden was a smart cookie, he may have covered his tracks well and the gov is worried sick about what he has.

Responding to Snowden’s claim that he could wiretap any phone call in the United States, Alexander said that’s false.
“I know of no way to do it,” the NSA chief said.

This has been bugging me actually. "I know of no way to do it" could simply mean "I'm not an IT person and I don't know how to do these things." But his answer of "I know of no way to do it" by no means equivocates to "The NSA can't do that".
Reminds me of the "least untruthful answer" that the Intelligence Chief gave...

Plus, how do we know that Snowden wasn't working on implementing this when he bailed? Maybe this was the straw that broke the camels back?
to track a target’s thoughts and actions and possibly predict future acts.
I figured that this was the case. But what if we find out that the NSA is lying, yet again, and they do this to every American? Could you imagine the implications of this? Months ago they said they didn’t gather any data on Americans calls etc. The lies change as another is exposed.
