Any possible way that Hayden does not become Harriet Miers II?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer son of a bitch.

Jonathan Turley: General Hayden wasted 2 billion dollars at NSA

on a program called Trail Blazer. On Keith Olbermann tonight!

Here is what I googled on this:

System error

The NSA has spent six years and hundreds of millions of dollars trying to kick-start a program, intended to help protect the United States against terrorism, that many experts say was doomed from the start.

Originally published January 29, 2006

A program that was supposed to help the National Security Agency pluck out electronic data crucial to the nation's safety is not up and running more than six years and $1.2 billion after it was launched, according to current and former government officials.

The classified project, code-named Trailblazer, was promoted as the NSA's state-of-the-art tool for sifting through an ocean of modern-day digital communications and uncovering key nuggets to protect the nation against an ever-changing collection of enemies.

Its main goal when it was launched in 1999 was to enable NSA analysts to connect the 2 million bits of data the agency ingests every hour -- a task that has grown increasingly complex with the advent of the Internet, cell phones, and instant messaging -- and enable analysts to quickly pick out the most important information.

The stakes could scarcely be higher.

Trailblazer loses its way

By ALICE LIPOWICZ

Launched in 2000 by former NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden, who recently became deputy to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, Trailblazer's aim is to replace the agency's Cold War technologies for collecting intelligence, geared mostly to intercepting Soviet radio messages, with modern global IT that can handle surveillance of cell phones, e-mail, fiber-optic telephones and other modern communication technologies. Trailblazer not only collects but also aids in analyzing the information.

"Every time a Soviet plane took off, NSA knew about it. It was pretty easy to track," Bamford said. "Now they have to track people who use cell phones, pay phones and calling cards ... You have to be a bit optimistic to think it will work."

<snip>

But the IT program, most of which is classified, has become mired in difficulties. Last year, a joint congressional committee inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks said Trailblazer is viewed as the solution to many of NSA's challenges, "but the implementation of those solutions is three to five years away, and confusion still exists at NSA as to what will actually be provided by that program."

In April, Hayden testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trailblazer was racking up extra costs and dropping behind schedule.

That someone actually wants Hayden to go before a confirmation committee. Sometimes dumb like a fox works. What if Goss was the Harriet, and Hayden is the Roberts. I haven't seen or heard much of Hayden yet, but if He turns out to be an articulate spokesman for the administration's position and makes His questioners look the least bit petty, We could end up with another Chief Justice Roberts.
As stupid as everyone wants to think Bush is, He is in the White House and seems to get just about everything He wants done.

It doesn't matter how glib he is, there are some things you just cannot defend. This is one of them.

Oh, and Bush is a rock. He is easily the dumbest president I have ever witnessed, of ANY country. However he's not surrounded by idiots. There are a very few people in that administration that make everything happen, and they are pretty good at it.

should this ridiculous experiment go that far, will be Must See TV.

What is more ridiculous than putting a man up for confirmation, under oath, who will be guaranteed to answer questions you don't want asked?

:crazy:
