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

    How do you think we (people like AG and I) view Glenn and you work-within-the-system "pragmatists?" How's that electing more Democrats to solve the problems working out? How do you suppose new "this time we mean it!" anti-torture laws are going to work out?

    How's your super-radical, street-marching, burning-things-down, take-no-prisoners, outside-the-system revolution working out?

    Dianne Feinstein and Ron Wyden made ambiguous statements on torture yesterday. I guess that proves that everything you're doing is a big failure.
