New NSA boss plays down impact of Snowden leaks

Mark 85

Re: Change over.

I think you're right. However, I'll toss in the Nixon/Ford Syndrome. Nixon resigned and no one believed or trusted Ford. I think that's part of what's happening here. Even if Rogers is most unique NSA boss ever, he will have to fight the image of his predecessor plus there's still things coming out on his watch. Probably, the next guy will have a better shot at winning the public trust.

But then again... this is NSA we're speaking of. They've had 62 years of growth and basically unhampered activity.
