WASHINGTON – Former National Security Agency director Michael Hayden’s private, off-the-record conversation with reporters aboard the Amtrak Acela commuter train was made public last week without his knowledge or consent. The conversation was overheard by former MoveOn.org director Tom Matzzie, who was sitting nearby and proceeded to send out Hayden’s innermost thoughts on Twitter.
When he learned that private statements of his had been released to public, Hayden was furious. “I spent my whole career secretly prying into the lives of ordinary Americans and had always assumed it was no big deal,” he said. “Now that someone’s spied on me and shared my embarrassing views with the world, I can see how folks could get upset.
“It’s made me reexamine my entire career in Intelligence,” he added. “Like maybe spying on innocent people isn’t such a great thing after all.”
