CIA Accused: Sen. Feinstein Sees Torture Probe Meddling

SternisheFan writes with this news from the Washington Post: "In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency's possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration. The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution."

Forget the CIA and NSA, if you want to see tyranny, nothing beats homeowners' associations.

God would not have revealed the constitution to the Pilgrims on Thanksgiving if we didn't deserve it!
