WASHINGTON (AP) -- After hearing assurances he will be independent of the Pentagon, the Senate on Friday easily confirmed Gen. Michael Hayden, a career Air Force man, to head the CIA.

Hayden, a four-star general, currently is the top deputy to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.

Hayden, 61, would be the first active-duty or retired military officer to run the spy agency in 25 years. He was approved by a vote of 78-15.

way to go, democrats! give them hell for a couple of days and then roll over like a kicked dog!

I'm enthusiastic that he will produce similar results as he did at his prior directorship. Cf every other comment I've made. It's okay to have people in charge of the intelligence communities that I despise, if I despise them more for blatant incompetence and graft than I do for cunning and mendaciousness. He's transitioned rapidly from the latter camp to the former in the past couple of weeks, thank you, Baltimore Sun. Fucking moron douchebag.

Sounds like good news for Van Honeycutt, anyway

It has been pointed out that the value of the intelligence gathered by the NSA hasn't been questioned. Those who have been briefed are immediately turned into accomplices because knowing adds to their importance. I respect Arlen Specter for voting against his confirmation.
