Back in 2013, former CIA and former NSA Director Michael Hayden made an ill-advised joke when he alluded to wanting to put Edward Snowden on a kill list. Now, in an interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan, Hayden is finally clarifying hist stance—sort of.

Not only did the New York Times give former CIA director Michael Hayden its top Sunday Review slot yesterday to opine on the usefulness of drone warfare; the paper didn’t even make him disclose his ties to defense contractors who are in the drone business. Very gracious of them.

Edward Snowden, an enemy of America, released top secret information so powerful that it would destroy the government's ability to keep Americans safe. Information so powerful that, in fact... nothing has changed.

Spy agency mouthpiece Michael Hayden yesterday criticized Sen. Dianne Feinstein for showing "deep, emotional feeling" about the Senate's report on the CIA's torture program. Michael Hayden is really something (a torture apologist).

In its report on the shooting at LAX this morning, The Globe and Mail published a shocking report attributed to the LAPD that former NSA chief Michael Hayden had been shot dead in the incident, and that a "radical Christian group" had claimed responsibility.

Michael Hayden, the former head of the NSA and the CIA, is the official mouthpiece of the American surveillance state. His blithe, unquestioning acceptance of the idea that privacy is a foolish notion is horrifying. And for that, he is valuable.

The Amtrak Acela is the subject of many jokes and legends among Washington D.C. political people. Now we can add the Tale of the Blabby Ex-NSA Director.

Bob Schieffer, the elderly moderator of CBS's Face the Nation, once dismissed Edward Snowden as "just a narcissistic young man who has decided he is smarter than the rest of us." Yesterday, Schieffer once again addressed the issues of privacy and the NSA. His performance was an embarrassment to journalism.

Surely you've sat around in the midst of your recessionary squalor and thought, "Gee, I'd really love an unpaid internship at the consulting/lobbying firm started by the former head of Homeland Security under President Bush." Well, today's your lucky day!

So you know the Washington Post fired lovable liberal-ish White House blogger Dan Froomkin(!). But there is good news: they are still giving column inches to non-journalist Bush appointees!
