Ex-NSA Head Jokes About Putting Snowden on a Hit List
It's funny because murder!
Former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden joked Thursday about putting Edward Snowden on a kill list.
Hayden noted that Snowden has been nominated for a European human rights award.
"I must admit, in my darker moment over the past several months, I'd also thought of nominating Mr. Snowden, but it was for a different list," Hayden said during a panel discussion on cybersecurity hosted by The Washington Post.
