The sailing is suddenly much smoother for Leon Panetta’s reported nomination to head the CIA, as California senator and prior Panetta critic Diane Feinstein— who is also the incoming chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee — has just announced that the beef is squashed, The Associated Press reports.

Feinstein says she spoke with Panetta, a fellow Californian, for about 20 minutes on Tuesday evening and came away confident he’d surround himself with good personnel at the agency.
