Hayden as CIA Director

I agree with The American Thinker that Gen. Michael Hayden is the most qualified for the CIA job. The fact that he's in the military is irrelevant. The last time I checked, we have had presidents, CIA directors and secretaries of state who were also generals.

The most interesting point on the nomination was from Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) on Fox News Sunday. Specter said that this will give the Senate an opportunity to question Hayden in the hearings on the terrorist surveillance program to find out more details and therefore, give the Congress its proper "oversight." Ha! The Senate (or Specter) simply wants to assert its power over President Bush.

I have a feeling President Bush will be only too happy to allow a nationally televised exchange over the NSA program.
