John Kerry Confirmation Hearings Begin Today

Kerry headed for State

A day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a fiery defense of the administration's handling of the Libya attack aftermath, the man tapped to replace her will face questioning at his confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill. 

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is likely to encounter a friendly audience. He's appearing before the committee he chairs—of all the nominees President Obama has selected for his second term, Kerry is among the least controversial.
