Michael Vincent Hayden (born March 17, 1945) is a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

 

In September 2013, Hayden stressed the indisputable legality of "what the NSA is doing" and called Edward Snowden a "troubled young man" and "morally arrogant to a tremendous degree"; he also said about his prospects in Russia: "I suspect he will end up like most of the rest of the defectors who went to the old Soviet Union: Isolated, bored, lonely, depressed—and most of them ended up alcoholics."

 

Relation to Caitlin Hayden?

In a statement issued early on Monday, Caitlin Hayden, the chief spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said the White House was “disappointed” by Hong Kong’s decision not to comply with a request to detain Snowden, and allow him to fly to Russia instead on Sunday, in a move apparently orchestrated by WikiLeaks.

 

Hayden urged Russian authorities not to let Snowden leave its territory, and hinted that Snowden’s transit out of Russia would set back a relationship that President Obama has prioritized cultivating.

 

“We now understand Mr Snowden is on Russian soil,” Hayden said.
