Hayden: Wiretapping Is Just Fine

What I haven't heard anyone ask or wonder out loud about is, if the NSA is good enough to only target people talking with Al Qaida, be it calls in or out of the U.S., why are we not capturing the person(Al Qaida) on the other end? And are we really to believe that there are that many terrorists or terrorist friendly people in America. If so, shouldn't they have raised the alert level to the brightest red they can find? Oh that's right, no elections the last year and a half!

(Guardian)Michael Hayden, the former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), told a congressional committee that there had been no question of refusing when President Bush requested the controversial programme in October 2001. "The math was pretty straightforward. I could not not do this,"
Looks like just another yes man. Just what you want as the head of the C.I.A.
