Dubya officially nominates Michael Hayden to replace Porter Goss at CIA, despite bipartisan criticism of Hayden's military background. "U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said, 'This appointment...signals that we are not that concerned about having an independent intelligence community independent of the Department of Defense.'" Nevertheless, some top Dems, including the House Intelligence Committee's Jane Harman and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, have indicated that they're both ok with the pick and will, likely, avoid the NSA wiretaps issue like the plague during the hearings.
