John Brennan's confirmation hearing to be CIA director has adjourned. Here's a summary of where things stand:

• Brennan easily handled all the committee's questions. Several senators asked him to promise to be a transparent CIA director, and never to hide anything from them. He said he needed them to oversee him. It was all very chummy. Brennan will speak to the committee again in a closed hearing Tuesday and in all likelihood will be confirmed shortly thereafter.

• Brennan said he'd changed his assessment of whether the CIA's "enhanced interrogation" program had yielded valuable information. Brennan is on the record as saying "lives were saved." But after reading the summary of the committee's 6,000-page report on the CIA program, he said, he's no longer sure.

• Chairwoman Feinstein opened the hearing by saying that the number of civilians killed in US drone strikes was "in the single digits" each year. She didn't get any argument from Brennan, or from anyone else on the committee. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates that between 475-891 Pakistani civilians have died in US drone strikes since 2004. It wasn't a point of discussion.

• Neither was Brennan pressed on the criteria for adding a terror suspect to the drone kill list, just revealed in a declassified white paper. Sen. Ron Wyden asked why suspects couldn't be offered the opportunity to surrender. Brennan said they forfeited it when they joined al-Qaeda. Wyden asked why couldn't a panel review the kill list. Brennan said it was too urgent and dangerous not to do it alone.

• Warrantless wiretapping? Didn't come up.
