Sounds like the NSA is still kicking butt, in this recent address to Congress by the director.
Most interesting paragraph:
Shortly after September 11 th , I had a meeting of my senior leaders. I asked them the following question: Is there any part of our transformation roadmap that we should change as a result of the
attacks? Unanimously, they responded, “No, but we need to accelerate these changes.†With the money the President has requested and Congress has provided, we have done just that. We still have much to do but these committees know better than most the performance of NSA in the current war. I know in my heart that this level of sustained excellence would not have been possible without the business process, organizational, personnel, and operational changes we have set in place and you have supported.
