In an interview with the New York Times, the new director of the National Security Agency, Army Lt. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, said the job of the Intelligence Community is different today when confronting terrorists rather than a single bad guy as in the Cold War. Alexander explains: “The problem you’re talking about is how do you find one person, among 20-some million in Iraq, who has the ability to move. That’s very difficult, but that’s the war we’re in.”
