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."

"I smell a dupe. And I'm not referring to the people who keep voting for Feinstein, either."

Haha. This is mod-worthy. But it was "under my threshold" when I came to this page and I didn't see it.

if you want to see tyranny, nothing beats homeowners' associations.

You went in knowing you'd be part of an HOA (unless you were rather ignorant and didn't read through the covenants of the property you moved to/purchased (alas, I cannot erect an oil derrick on my property which was the major takeaway of reading through all of the paperwork when closing on my house (an no HOA!!! (which I already knew))... in the end you agreed to live under that tyranny... I on the other hand did not vote for a single person who voted for and ultimately forced Obamacare down the thought of the American people... so I'd argue that my tyranny beats your tyranny.
