Hayden concerned with NSA reforms
Former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden says he’s afraid proposed reforms to the National Security Agency could draw the government back to a “pre-9/11 mindset.”
{mosads}President Obama on Friday is expected to announce changes to the NSA’s bulk metadata collection program, including requiring that the NSA get a court authorization to look at metadata.
That does not sit well with Hayden, whose tenure at the NSA ran from 1999 to 2004 and is now a principal at The Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm.
“I’ve actually got some pretty strong feelings about that,” Hayden said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
