The top U.S. intelligence official says he'll now release figures every year on how many new top secret court orders and national security letters are issued and how many people are targeted because of them.
Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper said Thursday that the number of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders and national security letters authorizing spying will be published. It's part of President Barack Obama's edict to provide more transparency, and to try to convince Americans they are not being spied on.
