Former National Security Agency director and CIA director Michael Hayden expressed concern about President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security advisor, Michael Flynn, saying Flynn, the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, would be “stretched a bit” by his new role. “But by and large he’s been successful at the tactical operational level,” Hayden said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.” “This is a strategic global job. And so I think he’ll be stretched a bit by this.”Trump’s choice of Flynn was met with alarm in many circles for his repeated anti-Muslim comments. “Fear of Muslims is RATIONAL: please forward this to others: the truth fears no questions,” Flynn tweeted in February. Flynn has also since accepted a paid speaking engagement with the Russian government-backed Russia Today television network.
