Military 'must not head CIA' General tipped for CIA top job CIA director resigns

Washington - President George W Bush named Air Force general Michael Hayden to lead the embattled CIA on Monday, re-igniting a debate over the domestic surveillance programme he once ran.

Republican and Democratic critics also questioned the wisdom of putting a military officer in charge of the civilian spy agency.

Bush said: "Mike Hayden is extremely qualified for this position."

If confirmed, Hayden would replace Porter Goss, who resigned under pressure on Friday.
