      1. In response to my FOIA, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board has declassified its PPD-28 surveillance report. Haven't read it yet to see how interesting, but they're going to make it public this afternoon so I'm going to go ahead and post it. int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/370-pclob-ppd28/2d4c34ccc018989acd5c/optimized/full.pdf#page=1

      Takeaway: Most of what PPD-28 required, the NSA, FBI, and CIA were already doing anyway. But CIA applied it, incl 5-year retention limit, to mixed-source data collections even tho it only technically covers the sigint components, not the humint ones; GOP boardmembers objected.
