John Schindler (former NSA counterintelligence officer) called this back in August:

This would explain how the Russians ended up with the source code for TAO's toys.

The article seems to be suggesting that the idea that there are KGB moles inside the NSA is, in and of itself, indicitative of the NSA's ultimate failure.

That's ludicrous. You'd be an idiot to ever suggest that the NSA wasn't penetrated at any given time somewhere by some foreign power's own spy agency. Design for the failure that's going to happen, not the perfection that never will.

He is one of the worst personalities on twitter. For someone who could perhaps add a lot to the discussion his contributions frequently boils down to "I know better than [you or some other person] and so I don't have to explain [some insulting thing he said about someone]."

Nature of the twitter beast. You can't actually educate or do much more than say, "read any of the 20 articles I've written on the subject" in 140 characters. And there are a lot of people who are very wrong about the sorts of things he talks about.

He knows his stuff. And he's dismissive and rude. The former forgives the latter, for me.
