Not DuelEC specifically, the concept that someone like NSA might be out there promoting open code or standards with known faults, even backdoors, in hope that they will be integrated without proper evaluation.

NSA doesn't need to do anything like this. Watch the CFRG standards process some time, or anywhere else on the IETF. They can sit back and let the standards committees do this stuff for them.
