  Top democrats

  "...top Democrats in Congress were briefed in secret on some of the harshest tactics used by the CIA and appear to have done little, or perhaps nothing, to stop them."

  Feel free to out these people. Jane Harman is one. She is my representative in congress who traditionally votes with the Republicans and goes with the flow when it comes to torture, war, corporate rule of government etc... She refers to herself as "the best Republican in the Democratic Party." Her and her husband are worth 3 billion dollars. She goes uncontested almost every year for her seat in congress. She uses her congressional influence to lobby on behalf of the military industrial complex in our district (of which she and her husband have a conflict on interest in their government contracts) and does little for the people of the district.

  "Harman, who replaced Pelosi as the committee's top Democrat in January 2003, disclosed Friday that she filed a classified letter to the CIA in February of that year as an official protest about the interrogation program. Harman said she had been prevented from publicly discussing the letter or the CIA's program because of strict rules of secrecy." ~ wikipedia.

  Basically, she covered her ass with this letter, claimed it was classified, yet leaked its existence when it became politically expedient. That is like stating: 'I am a witness to constitutional crimes in government, but I can't blow the whistle because of my security clearance.'

  If anyone wants to run against her, I'll work for you.
