That was my point. It was NOT Republicans who criticized the Panetta pick.

Obama surprises intelligence community by selecting Leon Panetta to be the head of the CIA. - By Daniel Politi - Slate Magazine

"The concerns over Panetta's lack of intelligence experience were echoed by both the outgoing chairman and the ranking Republican on the committee."

"Senate Republicans on Wednesday began listing concerns and questions they have about President-elect Obama's selection of Leon Panetta to lead the CIA, including statements Panetta had made regarding intelligence assessments about Iraq."

"Senate GOP aides working with Senate Intelligence ranking member Christopher (Kit) Bond are poring over Panetta's public statements and writings to determine what kind of a grasp he has on intelligence matters."

"How will Mr. Panetta be able to continue to reform analysis at the CIA if he doesn't understand what led to the Iraq intelligence failure?" Bond asked. "I hope that Mr. Panetta will read that report so that he will know the facts before he appears at his nomination hearing."
 
Those republicans sure complain, dont they?
