Glenn,
You did what you needed to do. You forced Wyden and Feinstein's staffs to clarify, thereby strengthen, their anti-torture positions and you made yourself (and your influential supporters')visible to them. They know, now, that we are watching.
To seize upon their possible backtracking (whether or not it was there are not, I have a hard time judging but I think politicans should never get benefit of the doubt)is the best thing you and Scherer could possibly have done to ensure it doesn't happen come bill-proposal time.
This is where journalism becomes advocacy, and I am a proponent of that beautiful intersection.
