Carly Fiorina, the GOP presidential hopeful and former Hewlett-Packard CEO, began her close ties with the United States’ intelligence community shortly after receiving a phone call from Michael Hayden, then head of the National Security Agency, in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on American soil.
The spy chief had a request. He sought equipment to build an immense domestic surveillance program, urgently authorized by President George W. Bush."""
