    Hayden has a few skeletons in the closet he would rather not see included in any PDB's or other briefings, but that's okay. Someone else will make the necessary disclosures. --DIVIDEBYZERO

    I'm having some trouble understanding why we need a director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a director of National Intelligence, a National Security Advisor, a director of Homeland Security, let alone all the -INT's mentioned in the article, not to mention a Department of Defense, the FBI, ATF, and the other alphabet groups that supposedly sit on the wall and keep us safe.

    Are all these agencies, and all these directors, really keeping us safer, or are they just another way to waste my tax dollars?

      They are doing all this for the children. To keep hope alive. To promote our values. To fashion a better today for a brighter tomorrow. To boldly go where no one has gone before. Plus what do you do with unemployed government workers? You can't just shoot them....

    "Intelligence Community's outreach to the President-elect."

    WTF? I think they have a serious problem understanding their role in the scheme of things. The president gives them lawful orders, they comply or resign. Outreach, my ass.
