Hayden needs to be slowly roasted over very hot coals

President Bush's CIA director-nominee, Gen. Michael Hayden, to face what undoubtedly will be the toughest public questioning of his 37-year government career at a Senate confirmation hearing.

it had better be tough and there had better be some answers forthcoming... it wouldn't be advisable to hold your breath, however...

To help smooth Hayden's path, the administration reversed course after five months and decided this week to provide more information to Congress about the ultra-secret NSA's activities. That includes full briefings for the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

oh, SURE... NOW, they want to offer some opportunity for oversight...! gimme a break... like they'll do anything but lie anyway...
