White House to Release Internal Report on Government Surveillance
Says it was going to wait to release the task force's recommendations in the new year
In a change of course, the White House on Wednesday afternoon will publicly release an internal report on government surveillance efforts, a highly anticipated document that also will include recommendations for how the federal government can best balance its intelligence-gathering efforts with Americans' right to privacy.
The report, put together by the five-member Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, was originally meant to be kept under wraps until after the new year.
