"[redacted] mechanism that leverages GCHQ's huge passive SIGINT access to deliver CNE payloads to targets."
It doesn't sound very passive, if they are delivering content to target machines trough this. If we are discussing "evercookie", this would mean they could have capability to modify http traffic and inject "evercookie code" into it. If they do have capability todo this, it would sound more feasible than actually owning the target machines and using rootkits/malware to deliver things.
One of the documents from Guardian released yesterday mentioned evercookie in one of the bulleted lists. If this is more "request" level than packet level, that could be the method they are using - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evercookie

Not too paranoid, considering the front page of this project says "OpenBR is a collaborative research project started by The MITRE Corporation". What is MITRE?
http://www.mitre.org/work/intel.html : Just about all of MITRE's engineering and science disciplines are involved with improving our sponsors' intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) activities.
