Hayden

I've criticized some of the Bush Administration's appointments before (like the abominable Harriet Myers). But I'm with Kim Priestap, the worst anyone is saying about Michael Hayden is that he's in the military. Well at least he's in the Air Force which counts as the military unless you're a Ranger or in the Marines.

Anyway, the whole "military control of civilian intelligence" horror scenario just doesn't work for me. When you make even a passing glance at a list of CIA directors, you'll notice several of them have been in the military although most have been Army or Navy. Unfortunately it seems to work for the Democrats and more than a few Republicans.
