Air Force General Michael Hayden has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate 78-15 to become the next Director of the CIA, ushering him into the ranks of past directors like J. Edgar Hoover, Porter Goss, and a bunch of other dudes that no one remembers.Hayden was previously head of the NSA during the period when they tapped millions of American phone calls, something that appears to have disappeared completely off the map now that his confirmation has been approved. Surprisingly, many of the Democrats who supported Hayden agreed he was a capable leader with decades of experience and only the best intentions for the job. Basically, wire taps be damned.
So now that this is done, we'll just sit back and wait for the CIA to make some crucial moves ahead and out of the Cold War era of spying even further, something they have not been entirely prone to do. Either that or just get better and harder to find wire taps. Congratulations Director Hayden, and don't let us down. That's the President's job.
