The Senate confirmed General Hayden as the new head of the CIA in a 78-15 vote. This is nothing less than a rubber stamp of the illegal warrantless wiretapping that Hayden presided over and lied about as head of the NSA from 1999-2005. Furthermore,the unprecedented move of appointing a military general head of the CIA marks a further encroachment of the military onto all spheres of government. While Bush offered praise for the confirmation, the Senate offered no opposition, despite the fact that Hayden was in charge of implementing blatantly legal and fascistic measures which shred basic legal precepts.

The World Can't Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
