Ooooh. Thanks for filling me in so I don't have to go through 700+ posts. Let's hope THAT'S not true.
If you look at how Negroponte and Hayden have been busy re-organizing the the entire intel community (to whatever extent they have been allowed to), and how Hayden has basically been the DNI's right-hand man, then the rumor that Hayden could be heading to take over at CIA next could make a great deal of sense (though it's not clear to me how great a promotion that would be for Hayden compared to being #2 for the DNI over ALL of the intel agencies, but they may think it's time to take the next big step and truly reform the CIA from within).
