The US Senate has confirmed the appointment of General Michael Hayden as the head of the CIA.
Gen Hayden, approved by 78 votes to 15, is the first active or retired military officer to head the CIA in 25 years.
Gen Hayden, President Bush's nominee for the post, replaces Porter Goss, who resigned earlier this month.
Critics have questioned putting a military man in charge but Gen Hayden says he that will remain independent of the Pentagon.
