More than a year after the NSA's director, Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden, announced his "100 Days of Change" to revamp and revitalize an agency steeped in bureaucracy and outdated technology acquisition practices, the electronic spy chief went public with warnings of technological obsolescence. Hayden told a national television audience this week on CBS's 60 Minutes that the NSA remains behind the rest of the world in keeping up with IT development. |
"We're behind the curve in keeping up with the global telecommunications revolution," said Hayden. "Our adversary communications are now based upon the developmental cycle of a global industry that is literally moving at the speed of light ... cell phones, encryption, fiber-optic communications, digital communications," he said.
