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

    @heru-ur

    It is educating the masses to what has happened to them that will bring real change.

    I respectfully disagree.

    I respectfully submit that the masses know more than you think they do about exactly how this country works, and have a (to some extent, entirely valid) skepticism about the possibility for real change.

    Organize the masses, win victories, beef up their hearts. You'll see change. This is not theory... this is history.
