Hayden has just been confirmed. The vote was 78-15.
Already it's being spun as support for further violations on our Constitutional liberties. From Reuters:
The U.S. Senate on Friday confirmed Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden as CIA director in a vote that gave a broad bipartisan endorsement to the architect of President George W. Bush's domestic spying program.
This makes me so sick. I'm particularly disappointed in Levin, who said Hayden would speak truth to power. I'm so offended by those words, and his choice of them, and what this vote symbolizes.
I'll update with details as statements are made.
