I found Think Progress reporting that Sen. Feinstein was misquoted. Here is what they say was edited by the NYT.,
“The law must reflect a single, clear standard across the government, and right now the best choice appears to be the Army Field Manual,” Senator Feinstein said. “I recognize that there are other views, and I am willing to work with the new Administration to consider them. However, my intent is to pass a law that effectively bans torture, complies with all laws and treaties, and provides a single standard across the government.”

This is an important issue, so I am glad to hear the Senator's staff trying to have her record clear.
But, then I also hear that this clarification still leaves her fuzzy on the issue.
