I understand the reasoning from the government side, but it still raises the question of why pick the EC-Council to train their workers in information security (management and technical).

to justify it, they are certifying it

It doesn’t change anything about candidates or the courseware (but surely questions NSA’s vetting process). It just means that EC-Council’s marketing works better than many others and now they have something they can show around and say “look how cool we are”.
