Senate Panel Questions C.I.A. Nominee - New York Times

Senate Panel Questions C.I.A. Nominee - New York Times: "Another committee Democrat, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, said he was not convinced, based upon General Hayden's record at the N.S.A., that he would be as open with Congressional committees as he pledged to be in his opening statement. The senator said he could not tell whether the general had 'simply said one thing and done another, or whether you have just parsed your words like a lawyer to intentionally mislead the public.'

'What's to say that if you're confirmed to head the C.I.A., we won't go through exactly this kind of drill with you over there?' Mr. Wyden said."
