Warren Rudman Joins CIA Torture Amnesty

CIA Director Leon Panetta tapped an old friend, former Senator Warren Rudman (R-NH), to help Dianne Feinstein and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence grant full amnesty to CIA torturers.

Rudman was vice-chair of the Senate committee that did a pathetic "investigation" of the Iran-contra scandal. That's the perfect "qualification" for his new job, as Leopold reports:

the Senate Intelligence Committee will simply "review" the CIAs' interrogation and detention practices. The panel is not conducting an "investigation" and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the committee’s Democratic chair, and Missouri Republican Kit Bond, have avoided the use of the words "probe" and "investigation" to describe their work.
