Italy's former seven-time Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti faced a series of trials in the 1990s in which one witness claimed that he had exchanged a kiss of respect with then Mafia "boss of bosses" Salvatore Riina. Andreotti, who is currently a Senator for Life, was definitively absolved of the charges, and there was never any corroborating evidence of the smooch.

Feingold asked a few tough questions, but he repeatedly emphasized his strong respect for Hayden. His positive comments and those of other Democrats suggest Hayden will be confirmed easily as CIA director, as they continue to try to carefully criticize the NSA program without appearing weak on national security issues...
