On Monday night's Lehrer NewsHour, Heather Wilson said that Michael Hayden, Bush's pro-domestic wiretapping nominee for CIA Director, was "very, very candid about the [Bush administration's warrantless domestic spying] program, its authorities, how it operates, and so forth."
Riiiight, Heather - he's been far from candid about his involvement with the domestic spying program. As Media Matters points out, at a 2002 Congressional hearing, Hayden claimed that the National Security Agency complies with the requirements of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Well, that's not very candid of General Hayden, is it Rep. Wilson?
