Panetta

. . . I feel instinctively suspicious of the congressional reaction to this appointment. Rockefeller is saying he’s not happy. But he was a very poor ranking member and then chairman of the senate committee. So I don’t think that means much. If the Obama team really didn’t make a courtesy call to Feinstein, who’s taking over the overseeing committee, that was a goof — just because there’s enough hard slogging getting this kind of stuff done that you don’t get people ticked over stupid things. But let’s not let that distract from the substance of the issue. I’m not certain what I think about this appointment yet. But on first blush, the nature of the opposition makes me more inclined to support it.
The enablers are afraid. Pals don’t do this to one another. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels Feinstein and Rockefeller belong on the same hangman’s gallows as Bush, Cheney, and the rest.

That bastard Obama appointed someone who opposes torture and might demand accountability. He should have asked me first.
