The U.S. government is mulling ways it might disclose the number of Americans who have been caught up in government surveillance under the Prism program, set to expire in 2017.
Speaking to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, said his office is “looking at several options right now, none of which are optimal,” according to a Reuters report.
"If such an estimate were easy to do and explainable without compromise, we would have done it a long time ago," the report cited Clapper as saying.
