When news leaked of Leon Panetta's nomination as the new CIA Director, Dem Sens. Diane Feinstein and Jay Rockefeller tried to rain on Panetta's parade. Feinstein said she was surprised by the nomination, and that she was expecting an "intellegence professional" to be selected. Rockefeller claimed to be "puzzled" by the choice. My my, aren't we touchy!
It's small wonder that these two would be uncomfortable about having someone like Panetta at CIA, who is on record as opposing Dumbya's discredited policies on wiretapping and torture. Think Progress shows that DiFi and Jello Jay repeatedly supported Dumbya's appointments as well as his questionable or illegal policies with nary a peep, and aren't looking forward to an accounting for their roles in those policies.
