I see DiFi is flashing her panties again for all to see:
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who will take over as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in January, led the fight this year to force the C.I.A. to follow military interrogation rules. Her bill was passed by Congress but vetoed by President Bush.
But in an interview on Tuesday, Mrs. Feinstein indicated that extreme cases might call for flexibility. “I think that you have to use the noncoercive standard to the greatest extent possible,” she said, raising the possibility that an imminent terrorist threat might require special measures.
Flexibility, not to mention extreme lung capacity, must also be required in order to talk out of multiple bodily orifices...
Mrs. Feinstein issued a statement saying: “The law must reflect a single clear standard across the government, and right now, the best choice appears to be the Army Field Manual. I recognize that there are other views, and I am willing to work with the new administration to consider them.”
...at the very same time. Such a talented lady....
I am sure that the new administration is already aware of her complicity and her "view" that it not become widespread public knowledge.
Blackwater advisory board "invitee" and former CIA High Muckety-Muck, 'Buzz' Krongard's disappointment with Obama's about face on Brennan makes me think there should be even more casualties of his ilk. I wouldn't object if an Obama AG decided to look more closely at Buzz's ties to Blackwater and their activities in Iraq and elsewhere.
Teh Krongard fils are another example of the plethora of family interactions in government. 'Cookie' was interfering in an investigation of Blackwater while denying he knew that Brer 'Buzz' was on their board.
I suppose it shouldn't count against them that, while dues-paying members of the Family in Government Groop, they weren't even close enough to have their stories straight when the conflict of interest turds began to collide with the rotating device otherwise known as Henry Waxman.
