Is This A Joke?!

When I saw the possible choice for CIA director at the begining of the weekend I said.."Oh no, you've got to be kidding me!" I waited to say anything until he was actually nominated because I didn't believe he would possibly try this.
Our President has nominated a man who was in charge of the NSA illegal wiretap (terrorism surveillance) program. Before you say their is no proof that he's doing anything wrong let me inform you there is no proof that he is not abusing his power either. He just won't tell anybody enough details to verify anything. Any American who would allow this in my book has totally forgotten our principals.
So lets make this secret, illegal program guy the top spy for the whole country, whadda ya say.
Holy Fuhrer! Plus the guy that will have to tread very carefully on the 4th amendment if he wants to do things in a Constitutional way doesn't even know what it says!!! As noted here.
I looked to see what Senator Feingold might have to say.

I am concerned about the President's nomination of General Michael Hayden to be the Director of the CIA. General Hayden directed and subsequently defended the President's illegal wiretapping program and he was complicit in the decision not to inform the congressional intelligence committees about this program, as is required by law. It is unfortunate that the President made such a contentious choice at a time when the intelligence community, and this country, need consensus on how to move forward. General Hayden will need to convince me that he is committed to the rule of law in order to win my support.

I'm not suprised to see that the Senator and I see things in the same spirit. It seems to happen a lot.

Some say "I don't mind, go ahead because I'm not doing anything wrong. "
If you don't need your rights go ahead and give them up. I plan on doing everything I can to keep mine. Just might need them someday.
