Demonstrating that sentiment, Senator Feingold recently said on Hayden: I am concerned by reports that the President may nominate General Michael Hayden to be the Director of the CIA. General Hayden directed and subsequently defended the President’s illegal wiretapping program. Neither he nor the rest of the administration informed the congressional intelligence committees about this program, as is required by law.

If the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld junta can’t get Hayden’s nomination through Congress, then they’ll just wait until the next congressional recess and put Hayden in charge of the CIA at that time.

All power is flowing to Rumsfeld at the Pentagon. Including homeland security.

For instance, FEMA is to be dismantled. But I just read an article the other day stating that Rumsfeld’s Pentagon, through Northcom, will be assuming many of the duties that FEMA once held, both in preparation and response to a national disaster.

I’m certain that Rumsfeld’s Northcom will do a much better job than FEMA, don’t you? Just like Rumsfeld’s “strategery” for Iraq has been such a roaring success?

Is Rumsfeld nuts, or what?
