General Hayden answers a question asking if Governments overstated security threats in order to justify the war on terror.

ABOUT GENERAL HAYDEN: Michael Vincent Hayden is a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of the National Security Agency and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. From April 21, 2005 to May 26, 2006 he was the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, a position which once made him "the highest-ranking military intelligence officer in the armed forces".
