We reported yesterday that the Senate intelligence committee is planning an investigation of the CIA’s interrogation tactics, including a probe of the use of waterboarding and other possible forms of torture, abuse and humiliation of terror suspects.
Today, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the committee, issued the following statement:
“It is correct that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will conduct a review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation practices, and we will have a brief statement to issue on that subject in the near future,” Senator Feinstein said.
Stay tuned for updates.

Hooray for courage. Unless we expose and punish those that commit crimes we cannot claim to be a Nation of Laws.

Bless you Senator. It seems that in today's society women have more courage than men.
If Congress does not assert itself as an EQUAL and fulfill its checks and balances duties our government as was written in the Constitution is lost. We will have a government that looks like the Executive on the top of the triangle, and Congress and the Courts on the bottom two corners.
Now with Obama caving in to rendition, stonewalling our courts, etc. It appears that the pressures on a President are too great for him to be willing to say follow the law to his executive branch.

FOLLOW THE LAW. Is that too great to ask of a President and his branch of the Government?
It certainly is beginning to seem so.
How totally depressing. The more things change the more they stay the same.
