Former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden talked about counter-terrorism policies. He talked about how a consensus was being developed among Americans for counter-terrorism measures against al-Qaeda, and the continuity of policy among the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. He pointed out that a major departure by the Obama administration was to use drone strikes against terrorists rather than using capture and detention. He argued that this policy hampered the gathering of intelligence. General Hayden responded to questions from members of the audience in the Founders Room of the University of Michigan Alumni Center.
