It's important to understand that SELinux has ceased to be a pure-NSA development for a long time. For that matter, it has spread far beyond RedHat as well. Anyway, though I get the sentiment, SELinux is a great example of leveraging OSS regardless of whether you agree with the creators or not politically. That's a win for OSS in general because it means we don't have to like (or maybe even trust) each other to benefit mutually across the net. The best arguments against SELinux are purely technical because there are alternative ideas about how such a system could be implemented (see: App Armor for example).
