5:08Now Playing"President Barack Obama announced plans on Friday to limit sweeping U.S. government surveillance programs that have come under criticism since leaks by a former spy agency contractor, saying the United States "can and must be more transparent."
"Given the history of abuse by governments, it's right to ask questions about surveillance, particularly as technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives," Obama told a news conference at the White House."*
Obama has promised a conversation on transparency, in the wake of Edward Snowden's revelations of mass NSA spying on U.S. citizens.
