Looks to me like a power struggle. Congress wants to have more powers than the President.

NO. I believe FISA is the unconstitutional law and that Congress exceeded it's bound when they passed it. This law needs to be challenged. The constitution is pretty clear to me and obviously to past presidents about the presidents abilities.

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt here but now I think he just killed all possibility of secrets..wanting a full secret Intelligence committee airing of the details of the program that they, of course, will leak.
