The motivation for blocking investigations into Bush lawbreaking

Key congressional Democrats were aware and tacitly supportive of Bush's illegal interrogation and surveillance programs, a key motive in why they helped prevent accountability.

The letters thread is now closed.

Makes me sick

The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. What a travesty. I think the lot of them should be booted out so we can start fresh. It sounds like most of the Congress are a bunch of criminals, although with the White House certainly being that.

I have to agree with an earlier poster. It feels like the rot is so deep there's no coming back from it. Is there any hope at all?

WHy did Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse vote for the awful FISA bill?

Whitehouse is now on the Intelligence Committee, but he wasn't there when the Bush atrocities were being committed. Why did he vote for FISA? Has he given an explanation? He doesn't seem like a go-along kind of guy to me.
