Cyber Security in Government, ONLY JUST NOW?

So it looks like the Department of Homeland Security will be moving to create a more secure infrastructure (or something) to our government facilities that use "computers" by starting to hire cyber security analysts http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/02/dhs.cybersecurity.jobs/index.html?iref=newssearch.

What concerns me most about this is that 1,000 people seem to be a mad rush now to have something in place which I feel should have been there all the time. Is the NSA not cutting it or working nicely with the DHS? What role is the DHS looking to play now in an industry full of consultants and information technology folk within organizations fighting the good fight.

Let me be the first to label these folks as "Blue Hat" (since Red & White are taken and Blue seems to make sense here... )
