Any Outrage RE "Architect of Warrantless Spying" Tapped To Be CIA Chief?

[omega minimo]

Which Congressional Democrats today responded to the Hayden nomination with :wtf: or :rofl: ?

The "Architect of the Warrantless Wiretapping Program" is being promoted to head the CIA?

Instead of any INVESTIGATION into the "Program" another outrageous nomination is put forth by Bushco. and the Democratic response is...................?

1. Remember Bush & Co. always hide behind people in uniform

Because if you don't support General Hayden, you must not support the troops...in a time of War, no less.

:sarcasm:

Pretty crafty move.

2. And the uniform deflects from the spying?

:shrug:

3. Almost seems like it.

Someone needs to ask Hayden directly who ordered him to authorize the NSA to do what it did in violation of the FISA statute.

4. In an Investigation, rather than a Confirmation Hearing

:freak:

We have to go thru this insanity again?

5. Okay-- maybe tomorrow

I doubt he's going to get confirmed. Even some of the Repukes think he's a disaster.

Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
On General Michael Hayden Being Nominated as the
Next Director of the CIA


May 8, 2006


I am concerned about the President’s nomination of General Michael Hayden to be the Director of the CIA. General Hayden directed and subsequently defended the President's illegal wiretapping program and he was complicit in the decision not to inform the congressional intelligence committees about this program, as is required by law. It is unfortunate that the President made such a contentious choice at a time when the intelligence community, and this country, need consensus on how to move forward. General Hayden will need to convince me that he is committed to the rule of law in order to win my support.
