NSA Director Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander, speaking at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, told the audience of security professionals on Tuesday that the NSA does "not want to run cyber security for the United States government."

Aiming to dispel news reports -- and counter previous intelligence agency statements -- that the National Security Agency is angling to grab the top spot in the government's cyber security initiative, Alexander said it's a job that's bigger than one agency and that the NSA isn't looking to control but rather to partner with DHS, other defense departments, industry and law enforcement.

Imagine DSD running cybersecurity here. We'd be doomed! A bunch of computer nerds with bad hair and no social skills running the government filter?

Having said that, is anyone really taking that sort of thing seriously in this country?
