Report: Top Intel Officials Expecting Dismissal Under Obama

HeadlineNov 12, 2008

The incoming Obama administration continues to take shape. The Washington Post reports the nation’s top two intelligence officials expect to be dismissed within months of Obama’s inauguration. Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell and CIA Director Michael Hayden are linked to several controversial Bush administration policies, including the use of torture on prisoners and warrantless spying. As a Senator, Obama voted against Hayden’s nomination to protest his role in the warrantless spying program while heading the National Security Agency.
