The new National Security Agency director has quite a different take on the national security fallout from the leaks of whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Adm. Michael Rogers, with just three months on the job, said he has seen terrorist groups "make changes," but "you have not heard me as the director say, 'Oh my God, the sky is falling.' I am trying to be very specific and very measured in my characterizations."

Rogers' comments Sunday in The New York Times couldn't be any more different from those uttered by former NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander. Alexander had said the leaks jeopardized the US and its allies, causing "the greatest damage to our combined nations' intelligence systems that we have ever suffered."

Rogers' statements come as Alexander finds himself in the hot seat for moving to financially capitalize on those leaks. Under IronNet Cybersecurity, his new consulting venture, Alexander has been seeking as much as $1 million in monthly fees from the banking industry. "It would be devastating," he said, "if one of our banks was hit, because they're so interconnected."

At least one lawmaker, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) suggested that the only way Alexander can provide such costly services is if he "discloses or misuses classified information, including extremely sensitive sources and methods."

Grayson sent letters with that and other blistering statements to the Consumer Bankers Association, the Financial Services Roundtable, and other banking groups to which Alexander is said to have offered his services.

"I am writing with concerns about the potential disclosure of classified information by former National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander,” Grayson wrote. "Disclosing or misusing classified information for profit is, as Mr. Alexander well knows, a felony."

Snowden is residing in Russia and would likely face espionage charges if he returns to the United States.
