Senators delay Brennan vote
THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON -- A Senate confirmation vote on John Brennan as CIA director has been postponed for at least two weeks as lawmakers step up pressure on the Obama administration to provide more information about its drone campaign against terrorism suspects.

In particular, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Wednesday that she is seeking seven Justice Department memos related to the administration's targeted killing program, in addition to four the committee has been allowed to view.
