Michael Hayden has some funny (and remarkably self-serving) ideas about due process.
'So imprisoning Muslims without charges or trial is morally defensible, as Hayden sees it, as is killing without due process, even when scores of children predictably die as "collateral damage," and even when U.S. citizens are targeted in secret. The no-fly list? Also just fine, no interviews required.
But criticizing Hayden in a Senate report that was researched for years, based on CIA documents, and given to the current CIA director to review before publication? Criticizing him in a report that results in no penalties whatsoever without due process? That's an outrage to him.'
Cry me a river.

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, a proponent of drone strikes and indefinite detention, complains that he and his colleagues were “never given the chance to mount a defense” of torture.
