One slight correction--the Director doesn't personally approve all NSLs; that's process is delegated downward, as you can see from the example of the Wiki article on NSLs. <br /><br />That's an interesting question, and one which I can't answer: Can the FBI disclose info gained by an NSL to Congress?

It's hard to believe that he would have revealed his actions if that were the case.<br /><br />Still, the fact that he revealed his actions--legal or illegal--speaks volumes about his mental state.
