    The Daily Signal has been able to get 217 pages from the National Security Administration (NSA) under FOIA.

    Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan, says he is concerned about the toll the war in Iraq and extended deployments are taking on U.S. forces.

On the ground in Iraq, Lute tells Michele Norris that there has been "demonstrable progress" on the security front.
