Former NSA Director Isn't Too Thrilled About Having His Private Conversations Tweeted

    It sounds like Hayden was bragging as formerly powerful (and pompous) people sometimes do. However, the reporter was tweeting his own interpretation of what was said and Hayden might disagree with the 'interpretation'.

    Maybe what Hayden was saying was "of COURSE the admin knows what's going on, you idiot".

    Well, Hayden basically HAD to say the tweets were wrong! If not, he would be in MORE hot water. WHY would you expect him to clarify? If the statements were totally incorrect, and he merely corrected them, he would be doing what FEW would ever want, get into MORE hot water, effectvely absolve Hayden, and possibly get into a conversation making things WORSE!

    BTW to show the bias on that stupid site? On the "racist and you never knew segment", one person "reports", and says: "When I was a kid, everyone used the phrase Indian giver. We didn't even think about it. We weren't reprimanded by teachers, either. Admittedly, I went to grade school in Texas." Well, When I was in the lower grades, MANY used that term. WE weren't reprimanded EITHER! And I was in California! Besides, is indian giver against indians? Italians? Americans? British? Spanish? "native americans"(Called indians in the US)? I mean I don't think I heard of ANY people from india or "native americans" taking back what they promised, but there were statements about others doing that to THEM! There was ALSO an INDIAN BURN!

    Besides, we never said it to in anyway denigrate ANYONE other than to chide the other person for reneging? It is funny how some may try to go back 100 years to take something obscure and make it seem evil, or imply that a failure to reprimand means acceptance of what is at BEST only an inferred slight. INFERRED means the HEARER believes it, and says NOTHING to what is IMPLIED by the speaker!
