“President Barack Obama is expected to name a US Navy admiral as the next head of the embattled National Security Agency, the Washington Post reported Monday. If confirmed by lawmakers, Vice Admiral Michael Rogers, 53, would take over at a difficult moment for the spy agency, which is under unprecedented scrutiny after leaks from ex-intelligence contractor Edward Snowden revealed the extent of NSA eavesdropping.”
