The Cyberlaw Podcast: Interview with Gen. Michael Hayden

Stewart Baker   Tue, Jul 10, 2018, 12:20 PM

Our interview is with Gen. Michael Hayden, author of “The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies.” Gen. Hayden is a former head of the CIA and NSA, and a harsh critic of the Trump Administration. We don’t agree on some of his criticisms, but we have a productive talk about how intelligence should function in a time of polarization and foreign intervention in our national debates.

Stewart Baker   Tue, Jul 3, 2018, 9:55 AM
