Now Valerie Jarrett will have her opportunity
to hand pick a new NSA director... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NSA chief Keith Alexander and top deputy will abdicate in coming months he changeover could create a shift in the way the US spy agency does business. by Megan Geuss - Oct 16 2013 US officials speaking to Reuters today said that Army General Keith Alexander has officially made plans to leave his position as head of the National Security Agency by next March or April. The sources also said that Alexander’s civilian deputy, John "Chris" Inglis, will retire at the end of the year. That void of power would permit President Obama a chance to appoint new leaders to the NSA, which has suffered serious scrutiny in the aftermath of the leaks made by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The leaks have detailed a dragnet approach to surveillance in which metadata of American communications are collected by the NSA en masse. Still, the NSA’s policies have been staunchly defended by Alexander since being made public. ~~~~~ CONTINUE AT: ~~~~~ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/nsa-chief-keith-alexander-and-top-deputy-will-abdicate-in-coming-months/ |
