WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers, some from President George W. Bush's Republican party, are challenging his expected choice of a general behind a disputed domestic spying program as the new CIA chief.

"The bottom line: I do believe he is the wrong person at the wrong place at the wrong time," said Republican Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, on "Fox News Sunday."

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican, offered a lukewarm endorsement of Hayden, saying he liked him, but "I'm not in a position to say that I am for Gen. Hayden and will vote for him."

It is amazing that they are using Faux News as the vehicle for their message.

1. If the elections weren't coming up they wouldn't give a rat's ass.

2. No, they wouldn't, but they are now on record

regarding their criticism of placing CIA under the military. It is a minor beginning, but now the documentation of their statements can begin.

3. Where were these geniuses and men of honor during the Alito confirmation?

He's the guy who will allow to go forward the criminal programs Gen. Hayden oversees.

He's much more dangerous. But maybe Bush wasn't in freefall them.

4. Perhaps we could just disband the CIA along with FEMA?

5. It seems they're equally effective.

6. If Roberts says this

then you know the General is certifiable.

And Robert's is not what I would call human, per se, so you know Hayden is chock full of lizard DNA.
