Somebody didn't get the chicken little memo

Well, what do you know?
The newly installed director of the National Security Agency says that while he has seen some terrorist groups alter their communications to avoid surveillance techniques revealed by Edward J. Snowden, the damage done over all by a year of revelations does not lead him to the conclusion that “the sky is falling.”
He sounds like a less ... uhm ... flamboyant Dr Strangelovian character than Alexander and Hayden. I don't know if that's good or bad but I have to think that it's better not to have some over-the-top weirdo running the NSA. And anyway, the reality has always been that the Snowden revelations did not hamper America's ability to protect itself. After all, we know the programs he revealed have never stopped a terrorist attack, so why would they?
