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

    The "shoe is on the other foot" now

    Now that the Dems are in complete control, they don't want to take any particular measure "off the table" like keeping some guy up for 24 straight hours for interrogation. I suppose that is not allowed in the Field Manual becasue it is deemed "unpleasant".

    Gimme a freakin' break - the Left are such pussies in this matter; it almost makes me want to vote for Palin the next time around.

    Obama is going to have a major problem filling key roles in CIA because the pros can't reconcile the views of the Left to the real world.
