Might I Suggest Bruce Schneier?

It appears that the White House is looking at appointing the first civilian ever to head the NSA, but they have concerns that, "Finding the right civilian candidate with the technical understanding and familiarity with intelligence gathering would be a difficult task."

Bruce Schneier has a sterling pedigree, and a long history of calling out wasteful security theater and the surveillance state.

Not going to happen. Obama is not going to cross the state security apparatus, but I can dream.
