“That is the publicly released version of a semiannual report from the administration to Congress describing NSA violations of rules surrounding the FISA Amendments Act. The act is one of the key laws governing NSA surveillance, including now-famous programs like Prism. As an oversight measure, the law requires the attorney general to submit semiannual reports to the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees. The section with the redactions above is titled ‘Statistical Data Relating to Compliance Incidents.’  The document, dated May 2010, was released after the ACLU filed a freedom of information lawsuit.”
