Tech, Liberty Groups Call for More Surveillance Transparency

The request, to be made in a letter with more than 50 signatories, is the most sweeping and cohesive push to bring more accountability to electronic government eavesdropping in the aftermath of revelations about the National Security Agency's collection of user data.
