My earlier point is the NSA provides *patches* to the kernel source.
The current NSA patch is for the 2.6.13 kernel sources. Though the
current 2.6.13.2 kernel sources are more recently dated than the
NSA 2.6.13 patch, reading the NSA web site indicates they provide
patches for the current kernel sources. And they advise you to
apply these patches.

I fully realize that SELinux is now part of the Linux kernel, but
it is my understanding that the NSA provides updates that are not
included in the current kernel sources, hence, the patches.
