Chertoff charged a "modest sum" for the report eh ?


Title is misleading. The title on HK ("NSA concerned to lose US phone system traffic controller"), the story doesn't refer to the NSA at all (it literally doesn't contain the term "NSA" and refers to the "National Security Agency" just once in reference to Snowden's former employer).

Instead it refers to a paid for report by the competition and the FBI (and unnamed "other" law enforcement) who cite broad "foreigners bad, Americans good" concerns and other vague threats (something something disruption).

The article reads like a Neustar Press Release. I am well aware that the author is well regarded, but still, very Neustar friendly article...
