Navy Vice Adm. Michael Rogers declined to characterize Edward Snowden as a traitor. Rogers said he agreed with assessments by several senators that Snowden’s leaks caused significant damage to national security. Rogers promised the NSA would be more transparent about its e-spying operations under his leadership. He supports the continuation of the bulk metadata collection program under section 215 of the U.S. Patriot Act. If confirmed, Rogers would replace Army Gen. Keith Alexander, who’s retiring, which requires Senate confirmation.”]
