NSA Director Keith Alexander Is Reportedly Stepping Down

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday October 17, 2013 @12:04AM from the so-long-farewell dept.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "Keith Alexander will step down by April or May of next year. What's more, the agency's deputy director Chris Inglis also plans to retire by the end of next year, anonymous US officials told Reuters today. Though the news comes in the midst of a global public backlash over the NSA's widespread surveillance programs, it's worth pointing out that Alexander had revealed his plans to retire before Edward Snowden leaked details of PRISM in June. Officials didn't give a reason for his departure."

Throw them both in prison for ten years for breaking the law.

  Then throw congress in jail for making it legal. The Patriot act is what you get when you let anger guide your choices.
