President Obama’s moves to tighten the reins on the National Security Agency are getting a thumbs-up from his No. 1 fan in Illinois.  “I met with the president last week,” said U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin.  “There were about 20 of us in the Roosevelt Room – Democrats, Republicans, all across the political spectrum.  The president said he was going to modernize this collection of information.”  “It’s a good first start,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley out of Chicago.  “I think the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) courts have to be more transparent and accountable.  They need to be part of an adversarial system, but I think it’s all part of the recommendations his panel made.”  The president is trying to reassure not only the American public, but other nations’ leaders – such as Germany’s chancellor, an eavesdropping subject.
