"Weiss expressed frustration over the conflicting reports."

Somewhat related...New broom at DHS.  From SANS NewsBites Vol.13, Num.93:

"Good News! 
Yesterday, Mark Weatherford took over as Deputy Undersecretary for Cyber
Security at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. For the first time
in many years, the U.S. cybersecurity program will be run by a
technologist rather than by a lawyer. There are good reasons to believe
that this change will herald an era of greater balance in national
cybersecurity leadership between NSA and DHS."
