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

    Disgusting

    These people are not Americans, they are Republicans. There is a huge difference. Americans believe in equality, liberty, justice, and democracy. Republicans believe in absolute power, loyalty to the party, torture, rendition, political prosecutions and mass murder. DiFi has always been a Republican. Don't know about Wyden but if he hedges on torture, he'll hedge on everything. This just goes to show that I have always been right when I have said that this country is now a barbaric state run by barbarians for their own personal enrichment. DiFi and Wyden are just the latest examples. Just wait until Obama endorces torture.
