How we know Obama will ignore his NSA review group: He already has

[Commentary] President Barack Obama has already decided against one of the recommendations he received from the review of National Security Agency surveillance practices. The White House said that it would be keeping the NSA and the Pentagon's cyberwarfare directorate under the command of a single military leader. The current "dual-hatted" head of NSA and Cyber Command, Gen Keith Alexander, has been at the center of the furor over NSA surveillance. But Gen Alexander plans to step down in 2014, which raised the possibility several weeks ago of President Obama changing the rules for Gen Alexander's successor -- or successors, as civil liberties advocates had hoped. As Brookings' Benjamin Wittes points out, the results of the panel actually turned out rather awkwardly for the President. But as we've now seen with President Obama's decision on NSA/CYBERCOM leadership, that doesn't mean he's going to listen.
