Quoting:
A top federal cybersecurity official resigned this week in a letter
sharply critical of what he described as a power grab by the
National Security Agency.
Rod Beckstr=F6m, director of Homeland Security's National
Cybersecurity Center, said in his letter that NSA "effectively
controls DHS cyber efforts through detailees, technology
insertions," and has proposed moving some functions to the agency's
Fort Meade, Md., headquarters.
