Washington, February 4 (RHC)-- The Barack Obama administration has announced a series of minor surveillance reforms that leave its bulk spying operations in place.
The reforms tighten how agencies use the communications of foreigners and place a three-year limit on gag orders for people who receive secretive subpoenas known as "national security letters."
Obama has called for the U.S. Congress to end the bulk spying program exposed by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, but critics point out Obama could end it himself.
