I'm not quite as rabid as a lot of HN commenters are about this entire issue, but the following passage is near-comical:

Balancing the competing interests at stake, the Government has taken a number of significant steps -- above and beyond what the law requires -- in order to promote transparency and accommodate the the legitimate interests of companies. For example, for the first time, in the winter of 2013, the Government agreed that companies may report the aggregate number of NSLs they receive, in numerical ranges and on a periodic basis.

When you're trumpeting the fact that you oh-so-graciously allowed companies to report the number of gag orders they received as some sort of great leap forward in transparency, it's a bad sign.
