mr. hayden apparently did speak with tom matzzie and posed for a picture with him. nd another tweet from tom matzzie, me and steeler fan mike hayden. given their friend lira pore later on i spoke to tom matzzie on the the phone and he was unrepentant. he thought that mr. hayden was undignified in doing what he did, that it was inappropriate for him to speak i guess on background reporters the way he did. he said he thought that hayden was trading on all the credibility that he built up over the years to bash the president of the united states because according to tom matzzie was hayden was offering criticism of the obama administration i believe for the nsa spying scandal and other things. i know michael hayden pushed back on that a little bit. when i asked tom matzzie as a former d.c. director of the group moveon.org, which is a left leaning group that started up in the clinton administration, i asked him flat out, you might abkube accused o political leanings. he said "i am a democrat and everything's political, let's be honest here." he didn't hide the fact he did

different list unquote some journalists including brendan sasso from the hill blog have interpreted mr hayden's words to mean putting snowden on america's kill list now general hayden confirmed to me that the quote is correct but he claims that his words have been misinterpreted and he never proposed for snowden to be put on any assassination list but some would argue that this is probably the worst time for any former or current top u.s. official to even speak sarcastically about putting snowden on a list and that's because journalists jeremy scahill and glenn greenwald are currently working together on a joint investigation on how the u.s. national security agency has been involved in the wider overseas assassination program run by the obama administration now both of these journalists are known for their hard hitting investigations of the u.s. government and their collaboration will reportedly reveal how they say the vast surveillance network of the n.s.a. operates in conjunction with the clandestine operations run by the u.s. military or the cia now for those who don't know the so hot off p

several months i had also thought of nominating mr snowden but it was for a different list unquote now at the washington post panel discussion on cyber security hayden also reportedly defended the u.s. government's use of targeted killings joke or not some would argue that this is probably the worst time for any u.s. official to even speak sarcastically about america's assassination program why well because journalists jeremy scahill and glenn greenwald are currently working together on a joint investigation on how the u.s. national security agency has been involved in a wider overseas assassination programs run by the obama administration both of these journalists are known for their hard hitting investigations of the u.s. government and their collaboration who reportedly reveal how the vast surveillance network of the n.s.a. operates in conjunction with clandestine operations run by the u.s. military or cia so here we are in a situation where snowden is being considered for for a year. among the highest and his name even in a joking matter associated with a kill list would mean in theory that a whistleblower and internationally recognized human ri

director michael hayden jokingly said i must admit in my darker moment over the past several months i also thought of nominating mr snowden but it was for a different list to which then representative mike rogers chimed in and said i can help you with that so of course they're referring to you know snowden being on the drone kill list and what does this say about how they are perceived perceiving snowden and you know all of this information that he's really provided to the public i mean it really is a transparent about how i rate they are and how reckless they are these are elected and appointed officials at the highest levels of government and make comments like that it's wildly irresponsible and profoundly disturbing frankly and it really shows you the antipathy and the venom that the us has so when it's like oh come back and we will. treat you well and we'd love to hear from you i mean really are you kidding me when you don't joke about putting people on the targeted assassination of bill if i did hear that that edward snowden is not necessarily taking this very seriously at all. i think he sees it as a veiled

director michael hayden jokingly said quote i must admit in my darker moments over the past several months i'd also thought of nominating mr snowden but it was for a different list to which then representative mike rogers chimed in and said i can help you out with that of course they were referring to putting snowden on a drone kill list what does this say about how they perceive snowden and the information he's provided to the public. well edward snowden himself for starters does not take this this these kinds of threats that seriously he does have a year of asylum temporary asylum in russia and he he knows that this is kind of juvenile on the part of these leaders certainly they have taken some of this personally they should not have hate and for example should not have taken the safford it transparency of the programs he was involved with as a personal insult again this is about fixing the system and fortunately hayden does take this obviously he takes it personally and and he's got of obviously some vengeful. vengeful. stream in his thinking here but it's it's dogma and the many other more mature officials have actuall

director of nsa and cia michael hayden and the house intelligence committee chair mike rogers joked about putting him on the kill list. there's been a worldwide manhunt for mrowden, that is no secret. so i think people should really look at the question behind why he would be in any kind of hiding or in an undisclosed location, and why someone who tells the truth and blows the whistle on massive legality by the u.s. government, why they would have to go to another country to do so and then seek asylum from yet another country in order to gain protection. >> jesselyn radack, what did edward snowden tell you? and what did you tell him as you presented the award? >> as we presented the award, we each read from various other famous people in history, ,ncluding martin luther king who people also smeared as being traitors and turncoats and hurting the country. and then later in history, realized they were heroes. other people like ben franklin. we talked about how he was supported despite with the us government is saying about 60% of our country is in support of in a say reform. -- nsa reform. despite all he is dealing with, he is incredibly focused on whistleblo
