A google search gives this link:

Scroll down to the section "Microsoft vs. the NSA"
Its the usual nonsense. Companies complaining "that providing the
fruits of research to everyone, not just U.S. companies, is hurting
American business". Accusations that "open-source software may offer
target for terrorists". Microsoft as usual has not commented directly
on this issue. They just play their dirty politics. Unfortunately, the
consequence of this issue is that SE Linux may be the NSA's last
direct contribution to open-source security.
