But opposition to Hayden because of his military background is mounting on Capitol Hill, where he would face tough hearings in the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Funny, but we had Rear Adm. Sidney Souers, USNR, Lt. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, USA, Rear Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, USN, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, USA, Vice Adm. William Raborn, USN (Ret.), and Adm. Stansfield Turner, USN (Ret.) as heads of the CIA.

Many don't like Hayden because of his spirited defense of the Terrorist Surveillance Program and the fact that Congress was briefed on and approved of the program. Congress may not like Hayden's answers at the confirmation hearings because he knows where the bodies are buried.

Thanks for the article. Don't mean to be catty but that's a really BAD picture of Jane Harmon - -she looks a lot older than when I've seen her on TV - - must be bad lighting, make-up or something.

Where is their party loyalty?
Where is their loyalty to the President who helped get a lot of them in office??
When are they going to start remembering President Regan's 11th commandment??
When are they going to learn to quit being such media hogs - -don't they know they're only going to be media darlings when they're bashing the Pres? Don't they know that the MSM is a wing of the DNC (and/or vice versa)??
When are they going to keep quiet and get out of the way and let the Dims bloviate and scream and obstruct so the American people can see them for who they really are??
When are they going to wake up and realize that it's a vicious circle - - they're separating themselves from the Pres because of his supposed 'low poll #'s) - -but they're partially responsible for those #s because of their constant harping??

Premier civilian intelligence agency - I thought we were tallking about the feckless, failed, CIA?
