Obama Promises Reform of NSA Spying, But the Devil Will Be in the Details

Obama has directed the intelligence community „to make public as much information about these programs as possible.“ First, „these programs“ must include „all surveillance programs,“ not just those that have been leaked so far. The NSA is supposed to put in place a full time civil liberties and privacy officer and create a website that details its surveillance practices. This should have happened long ago, though we think this is a step in the right direction.
