Likely New CIA Director Misled Congress on WiretappingPosted on May 6, 2006
Michael Hayden, who will probably replace outgoing CIA chief Porter Goss, told Congress in 2002 that all domestic surveillance was consistent with the FISA law—knowing full well of Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program.

Hayden became head of NSA at the time German Intelligence was putting one of Mohammed Atta’s
Report thisroomates under surveillance in Hamburg, Germany
for involvement in the African Embassy bombings.
Funny his all-powerful NSA never wiretapped the Hamburg Cell even though no law prevented NSA from eavesdropping in Germany while Atta was calling Osama bin Laden and plotting 9/11.
Hayden has no history of successful human intelligence operations and has expended billions on computers, electronic surveillance systems and codebreakers who sit in cubicles.
Does the CIA need this?

Since the day Cheney appointed Rummy as head of DOD, DOD has been in charge of intelligence, foreign and perhaps domestic. To insure Rummy’s clout, the intelligence apparatus has been split up into smaller, and thus less powerful, parts. It’s an old ploy - to grab and maintain power pit your competition against each other.

OK, folks, here’s our chance ... this guy—what’s his name? Hayden?—is going to have to come before the U.S. Senate for confirmation.
Now’s the time to write every Senator we can—starting with the two in our own state—and say we want Hayden grilled on his criminal (that’s what illegal means, doesn’t it?) misleading of Congress.
I type out my message in my word processor and then cut and paste it into the message box. It’s simple and quick. (Yes, I know most of you know how to do this ... but I want to be as helpful as I can for everybody to get involved.) If anyone has any technical questions on how to contact your US Senator, please contact me via my email address on my blog ... I will try to answer them as best I can.
I have a copy of the message I use on my blog:

Feel free to use it however you wish in contacting Senators.
We can do this!

Another operations officer. CIA is going to be disbanded and it will be the biggest union lay off in history.
Another opertions officer was not needed. That is the problem and it will take someone outside that to ‘fix’ the agency.
