Dianne Feinstein launches scathing attack on CIA over torture cover up

[Peter Lemkin]

Feinstein has been a cheeleader and guard for the CIA and all the other Intelligence Agencies. She gets no applause from me. If she is really suddenly 'got religion', I'll give her a whispered 'at last'. I think this is mostly theater, as the horse has long left the barn, and now it is 'time' [politically] to admit what has been publicly obvious. If she is the best our Congress can dish up against the onslaught of the surveillance and police state we're in deep trouble. Obama declassifying this report would be a good thing...but there are about 1000 other similar reports to go....perhaps 100 times more covert operations, assassinations, dirty tricks, government overthrows [USA included], torture, rendition, drug running, gun-running, destabilization, propaganda, and more. Only then will be be able to say we are starting to make some progress. I think they are only putting a finger in the dike to distract public attention; while the 'water' floods over the top and drowns out liberty, freedoms, privacy, democracy, peace, and justice. Feinstein also contends that the CIA might have violated the Constitution by hacking into the Committee's computers. While that would be true, it is my contention that the CIA was constructed to and has continuously violated the Constitution [and other laws and treaties] in both letter and spirit. I guess they'll be sent to their room without dinner - this time.......
