Michael Hayden

So, I'm watching Arlen Specter yesterday morning on Fox News Sunday. He's talking about Gen. Michael Hayden and the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program. Arlen welcomes the upcoming hearings on Hayden replacing Porter Goss. This will finally be his opportunity to get some information on the wiretapping program.

I thought............."How ironic........here is Arlen Specter, U.S. Senator, chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, frequent guest on Fox News Sunday...............but apparently he doesn't know enough to watch Fox News Sunday. Hayden was on a while ago and explained the whole thing." Hmmmmmm. Specter should really have people putting these shows on the DVR for him.

On a more serious note. I am disturbed that Hoekstra is so dead set against him. McCain is for it, but he hasn't been disagreeing with "W" on much lately.

So I will stay here on the fence and wait for the hearings. But my initial reaction was favorable.

We can't acutally expect our crooks-in-suits to have an informed opinion of anything now, can we?

==Narus ST-6400 and NarusInsight by Narus Ltd.==
Under Gen. Michael V. Hayden the NSA has forced tecom companies to implement massive domestic spying hardware. Even though Gen. Hayden has 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." The NarusInsight is one type of domestic spying hardware. Capable of monitoring 10 billion bits of data per second in real-time. This means the NarusInsight can monitor an OC-192 in realtime. For reference 10 billion bits is 10 million Kbts, divide that by the average DSL user witch is 256 Kbts (10000000/256) you get monitoring of 39062.5 DSL lines in realtime for every piece of hardware. After data capture Narus softeware can replay data. What does this mean well acrodding too Narus website "Capabilities include playback of 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." Think of it as Tivo for the internet able to replay 39000 US DSL users activity in realtime for every piece of hardware.They talk about limits but this hardware is anything but.

If Michael Hayden wants to review the porn I read online......have at it. Maybe he'll ask me out afterwards!

And don't quote me any damn Franklin.....most people get it wrong anyway.
