WASHINGTON, May 7 — The man widely expected to be President George W. Bush's choice to lead the C.I.A. encountered surprisingly strong bipartisan opposition today, with the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee bluntly calling him "the wrong man at the wrong place at the wrong time."
Democratic lawmakers joined the committee chairman, Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, in raising objections to having a military man, Gen. Michael V. Hayden of the Air Force, placed atop the civilian Central Intelligence Agency, particularly amid an intense turf battle for intelligence budgets and influence among the C.I.A., the Pentagon and the office of the national intelligence director. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/07/wa...tml?_r=1&oref= |
