Meet the Press: CIA Director General Michael Hayden
I'm not a Sunday Morning News Geek, but I do watch when I'm not at church or can catch a replay on one of the other affiliated cable shows. I caught General Hayden this morning, answering some great questions posed by Tim Russert regarding the CIA and the current Global War On Terrorism.
I was impressed by the quality of the answers that the General provided. I think that the CIA is in better shape today than it's been in quite a while, and mostly because if his leadership and the growth that the organization has undergone. There is a large number of sub-five-year employees at the CIA -- Russert wrongly attributed this to employee turnover. The General was quick to point out that the staff has increased considerably over the past several years, and that the critical experience levels would begin to rise (the five to fifteen year employees) over the next few years. It's indicative of the criticality of the organization.
