WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's pick to head the CIA said Thursday that if the government's phone-tapping program were in place before 9/11, at least two hijackers would likely have been identified.
Gen. Michael Hayden told his Senate confirmation hearing that the controversial National Security Agency wiretapping program he helped institute would have caught two 9/11 hijackers in San Diego, California, before they carried out their mission.
"Had this been in place prior to the attacks, the two hijackers who were in San Diego, Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, almost certainly would have been identified as who they were, what they were and, most importantly, where they were," Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee.
I am so at a loss of words. I don't know how to respond to this blatant claim, that if we give up all our rights and freedoms, the government could have caught these two hijackers?
I hope you will enjoy living in Nazi America. Because that is both George Bush's and Michael Hayden's vision of America.
