Surprise: White House‘s Intelligence Review Task Force Suggestions Much More Than Just Cosmetic
Given the earlier reports suggesting that the „independent“ task force set up to review the NSA‘s activities had come back with a list of suggestions for changes that were mostly cosmetic, rather than substantive, it was a bit of a surprise to see the White House come out today to say that those earlier reports were incorrect and that they were releasing the report in full today (way ahead of schedule).
