Guess where “Michael V. Hayden, a retired Air Force general who headed the [NSA] from 1999 to 2005” now “works”: at the “Chertoff Group, a private security and intelligence firm…” Yes, the very same company formed by Michael “Shirts-Off” Chertoff, the voyeur who lusted to foist porno-scanners on us as Chief Deviant at the DHS. Small world, isn’t it, particularly for fascists.
Meanwhile, pervs of a feather flock together: ole Mike harbors the same sociopathic philosophy as Shirts-Off. Listen to him conflate hijacking our computers to spy on us with “security” as he defends the NSA: “‘There are vulnerabilities [in computers, software, etc], and then there are vulnerabilities,’ [he said] … If a vulnerability can be exploited only by U.S. agencies for technical reasons, Gen. Hayden said, ‘That is not a vulnerability that we are legally and morally obliged to patch. That is a vulnerability that we are legally and morally obliged to exploit in order to help keep the American people safe.'”
Oh, sure. Sorta like sexually assaulting passengers after photographing them naked in order to help keep them safe.
