“For what it’s worth this is a step forward — and something the government should have done ages ago, but perhaps not nearly as big as Clapper would like everyone to believe. Note that they only say they’ll reveal the number of ‘targets’ rather than people impacted. Given that each person “targeted” may lead to scooping up records on many, many others, this seems fairly weak. Remember, for a ‘target’ they can scoop up all kinds of records, and then go three hops deep. So, one target could impact thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of people. This is a baby step forward, but it still seems designed to mislead.”
