ACLU Comment on John Brennan’s Confirmation to CIA Director

WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–March 8, 2013. The Senate today voted 63-34 to confirm John Brennan as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Brennan’s confirmation came after a bipartisan coalition objected to the secrecy surrounding President Obama’s targeted killing program and began to assert congressional oversight over this unlawful White House policy. The effort was capped off by a nearly 13-hour filibuster by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
