Intelligence career

He was reportedly exceptionally open as NSA director, inviting reporters to his Fort Meade home for dinner.^[2]

General Hayden presided over the NSA during the agency's highly controversial alleged creation of an extremely large domestic telephone call database, as reported by USA Today in May of 2006. During his nomination hearings Hayden defended his actions, to Senator Russ Feingold and others, saying he had relied upon legal advice that White House power to order this was supported by Article Two of the United States Constitution executive branch powers, overriding legislative branch statutes forbidding it. The NSA call database is a reported database of telephone calls created by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) with the cooperation of four of the largest telephone carriers in the United States: AT&T, SBC, Verizon and BellSouth. ...

Hayden's appearance at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on January 23, 2006, in which he discussed the National Security Agency's policy of eavesdropping on international communications between persons within the U.S. and individuals and groups overseas without a warrant granted by a F.I.S.A. court pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, generated considerable controversy. During the question and answer period with the press following his speech, the following exchange occurred between Hayden and Jonathan Landay of Knight Ridder: The National Press Club is an association of journalists based in Washington, DC.

— Full Transcript^[3]

Editor & Publisher has reported that "Hayden seemed to deny that the amendment included [probable cause], or simply ignored it."^[4]. The Fourth Amendment does in fact contain the text "probable cause" in addition to "unreasonable searches and seizures." E&P redirects here. ... The Bill of Rights in the National Archives Amendment IV (the Fourth amendment) to the United States Constitution is one of the provisions included in the Bill of Rights. ...

Defenders of Hayden said that he was merely arguing that the "unreasonable" passage was the relevant section of the 4th Amendment. Law professor Orin Kerr, co-author of the most widely used textbook on criminal procedure, sided with Hayden in this controversy:

In the early period of the NSA wiretapping controversy, General Hayden had an exchange with a reporter at the National Press Club about the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. A reporter insisted that the Fourth Amendment requires probable cause. General Hayden, who is not a lawyer, insisted that the Fourth Amendment requires reasonableness. Opponents of the Hayden nomination are now using the exchange to suggest that General Hayden doesn’t understand the Constitution and is therefore unqualified to lead the CIA. . . . The Fourth Amendment requires that warrants cannot issue without probable cause, but it does not impose some kind of universal probable cause requirement. As the Supreme Court has stressed repeatedly, the requirement of the Fourth Amendment is that searches and seizures must be reasonable. See, e.g., United States v. Knights, 534 U.S. 112, 118 (2001) (”The touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is reasonableness”). Often that requirement is satisfied based on a showing of probable cause, but then often it is not. Courts have relied particularly heavily on the general reasonableness framework in the national security context, which presumably explains why General Hayden, formerly the head of the NSA, would focus on it in his remarks. To be clear, there may be reasons to oppose General Hayden’s nomination. But his understanding of the Fourth Amendment is not one of them.[1]

Strategy for the NSA

Hayden and the NSA have a strategy to shift greater reliance on American industry for the purposes of domestic spying (see Gen. Hayden Statement to Congress - see section 27), EFF class action suit Although Gen. Hayden said at the National Press Club that "As the director, I was the one responsible to ensure that this program was limited in its scope and disciplined in its application" [2], his testimony that, "One senior executive confided that the data management needs we outlined to him were larger than any he had previously seen" Gen. Hayden Statement to Congress - see section 27 before the Joint Inquiry of the Senate Select Committee On Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence) indicates that NSA's database was projected to be considerably larger than AT&T's 300 terabyte "Daytona" database of caller information. The NarusInsight is one type of spying hardware, capable of monitoring of an OC-192 network line in realtime (39,000 DSL lines) or give AT&T the power to monitor all 7,432,000 DSL lines it owns. After data capture, according to Narus, its software can replay, "streaming media (for example, VoIP), rendering of Web pages, examination of e-mails and the ability to analyze the payload/attachments of e-mail or file transfer protocols" (see [3]).
