General Hayden becomes Director, CIA

Wow, looks like the senate acted to confirm General Michael Hayden as the new Director of the CIA.

This makes me believe there are many life-long CIA types who are none too happy right now. What precedent is there for a military man to run the CIA? Almost none. The CIA as an institution is about to have its catacombs rocked to the roof. The general, while soft spoken and nice, is dead serious about straightening out the problems with national assets.

General Hayden was the Director, NSA for many years, to include those years enveloping the September 11th date. He's a smart guy and a good manager of large organizations, he'll do fine at the CIA.

Best of luck to him!
