While Dianne Feinstein has long protected the US Intelligence agencies in the Senate, she finally had enough when the CIA accused her staff of hacking while investigating waterboarding Post 9/11 by the CIA. She took to the floor of the Senate for 90 minutes
denouncing the CIA and their tactics, accusing them of violating the US Constitution. Ron Wyden agreed in a
statement released Tuesday, 3/11/2014. His language regarding the CIA was very blunt.
In my judgment, the Intelligence Community leadership’s misleading
statements on interrogation and many other issues has undermined their
credibility. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure that
the facts about the CIA’s detention and interrogation program are made
public, so that the American people can make up their own minds about
what happened and prevent the mistakes of the past from being
repeated.
Even Lindsey Graham rose in wrath
according to CNN.
Republican Sen. Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina called the allegations "dangerous to a
democracy," if it's substantiated that the CIA interfered with a
congressional investigation.
"Heads should roll,
people should go to jail, if it's true. ... I'm going to get briefed on
it. If it is, the legislative branch should declare war on the CIA, if
it's true," Graham said.
