This is clearly exaggerated. There's no way the NSA would ever do such a thing. Surely it would weaken US communications as well, and one of their mandates is to protect US communications - not to spy on americans, which it's forbidden to do.
NIST and the NSA are obviously above reproach in this case.

If somewhere 10% or 5% or even 1% of someone uses that encryption because it is 'standardized' you have a turn key solution without wasting any time. It makes perfect sense that they would push it in there.
