New CIA director.

It appears to have been a long and difficult search to find someone both qualified to lead the agency yet unsullied by the Bush crime regime, but Obama has tapped Leon Panetta to head the spy agency.

Panetta has had a long and distinguished career in Washington, although not in intelligence. He'll have his work cut out for him, but this is another sign of how seriously Obama takes governing.
