Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) voiced the strongest support for the NSA chief and the agency’s efforts.

“We are not in a scrimmage. We are in a war ... and we are way behind the 8-ball” in terms of possible threats facing the United States, she said, adding the agency’s efforts were invaluable in keeping those threats at bay.
