General Hayden says that information gathering by the CIA is appropriate
During the Annual Threat Assessment of the Director of National Intelligence for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency General Hayden says that information gathering techniques used by the CIA are lawful, appropriate, and adequate to the needs of the CIA program. He then says that their manual is different than the Army Field Manual. He then uses as an example the information gathered from Saddam Hussein using the CIA’s techniques. Vice Chairman Senator Kit Bond (R-MO) interrupts by saying that the information was obtained right before he [Hussein] was about to be hanged. “Talk about an enhanced interrogation technique,” Bond says.
