General, you probably remember me when I was writing about all the whistleblowers at the National Security Agency (NSA) who criticized you for cuddling up to the Bush administration on illegal wiretaps and electronic eavesdropping, purging and setting up NSA signals intelligence analysts who did not agree with White House cookie cutter pre-ordained intelligence on Iraq or the illegal surveillance programs, wholesale outsourcing of critical NSA operations to contractors with questionable foreign connections, and other dubious NSA policies directed from the White House and the Pentagon. And General, you remember I asked you a question about NSA whistleblowers at your press conference at the National Press Club? You were quite irritated at the question and at me. General, since you are from Pittsburgh, I once told an author who was writing about NSA that since Pittsburgh was a Democratic city, for all I knew you might be a Democrat yourself. I began to doubt that later. However, General, Bob Novak, who outed one of your agency's covert agents and an entire non-official cover operation directed against WMD proliferation, is now accusing you, General Hayden, of being "too close to the Democrats." Novak is now going after you General Hayden in his OP ED today in the Washington Post, which now spews forth more neo-con drivel and bile on a daily basis than the Moonie-owned Washington Times. Novak, citing your phone call yesterday with former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Peter Hoekstra, says that you did not answer a question from Hoekstra about whether Valerie Plame Wilson was a covert agent under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. However, Novak cites your recent meeting with House Government Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, in which you said that Mrs. Wilson was a covert agent. Novak left out the fact that your meeting with Waxman was also attended by HPSCI Chairman Sylvestre Reyes. Novak will now try and turn you into a liar with only Waxman, who Novak feels is a partisan hack, as the other witness to a "lie.". But that is just Novak's shoddy style of Swiss cheese journalism. Hoekstra and his pals at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue likely have something else in store for you. General, Novak, Karl Rove, the Post (which conspired with the White House to out Mrs. Wilson and Brewster Jennings and debase Ambassador Joseph Wilson), and Hoesktra are setting you up for a fall. They will do to you what the White House directed you to do to others at NSA. General, you don't have to become yet another victim of the "Bushies" (a somewhat more cuddly term than what they really are -- Nazis). If you are a blue collar-rooted Pittsburgh Democrat, come forward and denounce the Bushies before you end up like Paul O'Neill, Eric Shinseki, Colin Powell, at least 8 U.S. Attorneys, and those who you may be more familiar with -- Russ Tice, Ken Ford, Jr., Sibel Edmonds, and others in the US Intelligence Community who shall remain nameless. The Bushies and their co-conspirators at the Washington Post can and will begin a campaign to bring you down -- they are in scapegoat search mode right now. Novak has fired the first shot across the main gate at Langley. A recent German movie called "The Lives Of Others" features an East German Stasi Colonel who secretly helps dissidents evade arrest and prison. He is the hero of that movie. General Hayden, you can also help restore the broken lives of others, people who served this country loyally, and come out as a hero.

Here's a link to the Novak column.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes nor between parties either — but right through the human heart." — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
