US-INTELLIGENCE-SECURITY-NSA-FILES
(FILES) The National Security Agency (NSA) is shown in this May 31, 2006, aerial file photo in Fort Meade, Maryland. President Barack Obama pledged an overhaul of US surveillance to bring greater oversight and transparency on Agust 9, 2013, insisting he had no interest in snooping on ordinary citizens after a public furor. Weeks after former US contractor Edward Snowden revealed details of widespread US surveillance, Obama stood firm in denying any abuse by the program but acknowledged that he needed to address growing concerns. "All these steps are designed to ensure that the American people can trust that our efforts are this line with our interests and our values," Obama told a news conference. "And to others around the world I want to make clear once again that America is not interested in spying on ordinary people," he said. Obama said he would ask Congress to reform one of the most controversial sections of the Patriot Act passed in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks -- Section 215, which gives the government access to telephone and other records of its citizens.
