JOHN BRENNAN CONFIRMED AS C.I.A. DIRECTOR.............
John Brennan, who served as National Security Adviser in the first Obama Administration, was confirmed as the Central Intelligence Agency Director this afternoon, following a delay and then a filibuster against him. The Brennan Confirmation vote was scheduled for last Thursday February 28th, but delayed by Republican Senators seeking to underscore their concerns over American Drone use practices of the Obama Administration. Kentucky U.S. Senator conducted a 13 hour Filibuster on the Senate floor on Wednesday, in which he raised questions as to how and why President Obama has used drones against American citizens, without allowing them their 5th Amendment Constitutional rights and the due process of law, before targeting them for killing by use of drones. After thirteen hours Senator Paul ended his filibuster to answer the call of nature, thus clearing the way for today's Confirmation vote. Within the past hour the U.S. Senate voted to Confirm John Brennan as C.I.A. Director by a vote of 63 Yes; 34 No; with 3 Abstentions or Not Voting.............Fr. Troy
