Why do Feinstein and Wyden sound much different on the torture issue now?

The two Senators spent the year emphatically insisting that the CIA's interrogators comply with the Army Field Manual. With Democrats in control, they're not so emphatic any longer

    What would a nonviolent revolution, in present-day America, look like?

    Massive, widespread, non-violent civil disobedience.

    Or, just no one goes to work or pays any bills for one month. That would be total havoc.

    Or, everyone goes to work but pays no bills for 3 months. Buy gas and food in cash and spend nothing else.

    Note: I am not advocating not reading Glenn Greenwald; as that would be going too far, eh? (so, I guess we pay the cable bill) :-)
