The upside of Hayden
Some contrarians in the blogosphere, including The Washington Note's Steven Clemons , have advised the skeptical to give Gen. Michael Hayden a chance at CIA, despite his ties to the anti-Constitutional NSA spy program. Clemons' reasoning is that Hayden is NID John Negroponte's trojan horse, meant to strip some of the intelligence power away from the Great Incompetent, Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld. Other's aren't buying that argument, but the NYT today has at least one reason for optimism: he's bringing back some of the professionals forced out by political hatchet-man Porter Goss.
