Dear Senator Feinstein: What part of Operation Spy On *Everyone* did you not understand?

46. What Sen. Feinstein is alleging is much worse than snooping

Let me begin by saying that Sen. Feinstein has allowed this awful secret police situation to get out of hand.

However, she is not saying that they looked over the computer that the senate investigators used. THere has been an ongoing review of CIA torture for many years. First, the CIA stonewalled. THen they said, ok, you can look at documents but only at CIA. They dumped 6.2 million docs, without an index. THen they said every document must be redacted. This has taken many, many years. There was an internal CIA review that said the CIA broke a bunch of laws and tortured people. Then these documents started to disappear from the oversight computer. SOme hard copies were made and is now in a safe in the Senate.

Basically, the CIA is attacking their oversight. This cannot be allowed to happen.

From the CIA's point of view, Bush II told them to take off the gloves and get these people. And the CIA did, laws be damned. They think there is a bunch of Monday morning quarterbacking going on. THey don't want to go to jail and destroy their families (and lose their pension). A bunch of CIA folks went to jail after the Church Committee and the CIA knows this.

A way out is a truth commission. Get these folks out of government. Good luck with that.
