If the NSA reform is to be meaningful in any way at all there has to be a very explicit closure of the "Five-Eyes" Loophole.

Something like: The NSA or any other govt. agency cannot target/encourage/hint/suggest that any agency in the five eyes (or how many ever lap dog govts. participate) target any American Persons without a specific warrant. If these agencies do target Americans & the NSA comes to know they cannot use this information & must ask the agency involved to destroy it and stop the activity.

Using the Patriot act authorizations which were anti-terrorism motivated to spy on commercial entities is just a complete betrayal of its intent. The military-industrial complex is truly frightening in its reach and its greed
