Wired reported on the EFF suing AT&T over NSA wiretapping telecom traffic in bulk in 2006. And there were other assorted news reports on Trailblazer, the "Total Information Awareness program", etc. from that time. So maybe not

Nobody knows how to hire the best CEO, much like nobody knows how to hire good employees in general. The hiring process tends to be mostly based on surface appearances and past leadership positions. Your idea of a "best solution"
