President Barack Obama, his administration and several members of
Congress have tried to convince Americans that the National Security
Agency's surveillance program is in their best interest and not
violating their privacy.
But factually speaking, Obama went too far when he called the court overseeing the program "transparent," something that a spying and surveillance entity is, by its nature, not.
The president spoke with veteran reporter Charlie Rose, who put up a full transcript of the conversation on his website. The discussion surrounded the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court, which approves warrants for intelligence agencies' activities and gives them legal jurisdiction to carry out their spying.
