HAYDEN TEACHER, CONGRESS STUDENT - THE EDUCATIONS BEGINS

Stating that intelligence had become, "the football in American political discourse," General Michael Hayden began his confirmation hearings as the Presidential nominee to head the CIA. Although several times during the hearings questions were asked to attempt to trip up Hayden or force him to reveal sensitive material Hayden stood his ground and began the intelligence education of members of Congress who have used intelligence gathering as a political tool to attack the Bush administration. At one point during today's session General Hayden was asked by Senator Carl Levin, (D MI), if he had revealed to the committee all of the information concerning the NSA foreign intelligence program and the General replied that he could not talk about it in open session. A closed session was planned for late this afternoon which is supposedly top secret. Unfortunately that seems to be a definition that is taken lightly in some corners of the Congress. It would not surprise me to find at one point during the confirmation hearings that information revealed in closed session is leaked in a very hap-hazard manner twisted and used to attempt to sway public opinion concerning Hayden's confirmation to the CIA. This type of leak has happened in the past and with the assistance of the media wing of the Democratic Party intelligence programs and information has been twisted to create a picture of , "domestic surveillance," which has not happened in the NSA program and phone records used to tap into the calls that Aunt Mildred made to Uncle Harry about Sunday dinner which too has not happened! Stating that the NSA program is both legal and necessary the General explained the precautions taken to prevent surveillance of average Americans. He said the surveillance program used a "probable cause" standard that made it unlikely that information about average Americans would be scrutinized. The false premise that is being spewed in the media and through the liberals elected in the House and Senate has warped the entire truth concerning the intelligence gathering that is performed by the NSA and the CIA. General Hayden admitted that there have been mistakes which has been the actuality of intelligence gathering as long as we have been a nation. For every miscue there have been hundreds of successes and the General stated as such when he told the committee that there have been hundreds of terrorist attacks prevented BECAUSE of the intelligence that has been gathered through the surveillance program. The legality of the program and the questioning of said legality has been used for political advantage which has damaged the effectiveness of a very vital program. General Hayden stands firm on the legality of the program and stated that when he briefed the members of the intelligence committee of the NSA program that he never once left the briefings thinking that the legality was questioned or that he should rein in any aspect of the program. General Hayden's nomination should be confirmed and his appointment as Director of the CIA approved. His expertise and professionalism in the intelligence field are without question. His military discipline will correct problems within the Agency which in turn will enable better intelligence gathering and greater security for our nation!

General Hayden is being boomblasted for his party affiliation and not other reason. For the MSM to even question the reasonf or hesitation is due to his military affiliation is rhetoric! Sound familiar? It does to me. The dems will stop at nothing, including insult a General of the American Armed Forces in order to further their agenda. He will be confirmed and should be for the very reason the MSM reports he shouldn't!

PS...how come you took me off your blogroll...wimper. Great blog.. keep up the great work!

I agreE, a military man with his experience is what the CIA needs. Military men have been over the agency before and were quite successful. Just a load of liberal garbage as usual. Your still linked on the Blog of the Week blogroll. You have a great site and your link will always be on mine!

First of all I apologize for not having been here for so long. I lost my computer almost two weeks ago. It's been really tough getting it back to what it used to be.

I love the Historical Quote of the week by Thomas Paine. It's as true today as it was then.

Hayden will definitely be an asset to this country in that position. Thanks a bunch for the update. I was gone all day yesterday and didn't get a chance to catch any of it.

Amen to that CIR. Hayden will give the CIA the swift kick that the agency has needed for awile. That too is why I think the Dems are afraid of him. They don't like the military plus they realize that he will clean up the CIA and they will no longer have the agency to use as a political ploy to move public opinion.

Gayle, Thanks for your great as usual thoughts and its good to see you back!

Why is there no discussion of the " Echelon " project in the discussions about surveillance. Echelon taps into all forms of communication and nobody has mentioned a word. It is old news that every communication is recorded and not just the phone numbers. All the communications are recorded and stored so that the intelligence can get a court order and go back to analyze the old communications. It is old news that there is a massive repository for all the communications inside america. It is old news that the telecom giants route calls and internet trafic all over the world through American connections to tap into all the communications. The argument that the government is only recording peoples phone numbers is another big lie. I have no personal disagreements with the selection of General Hayden but it is a shame that the American public is once again so deliberately mislead. I am still waiting for an explanation on why Quaker peace activists are treated like terrorists. Obviously when this group is used as an example the truth is that there are a lot more innocent american citizens being harassed. I don't want to see terrorists attack America but the current administration is way out of control. There is no way that General Hayden could be independent of the pentagon, no way. I really feel sorry for you Americans having to constantly sort through all the lies. Naziesque orwellian roveianly genocidal americana, what a shame.
