High Marks for Hayden from CIA Critic

New CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden is being praised by one of the agency’s once staunchest critics, former CIA officer Robert Baer. Baer, portrayed by George Clooney in the movie "Syriana," says Gen. Hayden has already lifted the spirits of many senior CIA employees who had been considering quitting or going public with their frustrations. "I’m going against the grain to say Gen. Hayden is just what the CIA needs," Baer told me on the Charlie Rose program broadcast on PBS Thursday night. Baer says the CIA has "fairly good" human and electronic intelligence coming out of Iran and credible insights into that country’s intentions. "We know they want the bomb," Baer said.
