General Michael Hayden, who has overseen electronic eavesdropping and code breaking for the intelligence community as chief of the highly secretive National Security Agency for the past six years. Diminutive and bookish in appearance, Hayden, 59, has already shown himself willing to stand up to Rumsfeld. A former senior U.S. official told TIME that while Rumsfeld made it clear that he thought Hayden, who supported intelligence reform after 9/11 and the Iraqi WMD fiasco, "was not right-thinking on these matters," Hayden nevertheless testified...
