"The New York Times has reported that the CIA improperly monitored the work of staffers on the senate intelligence oversight committee. The specifics have not been made public yet but appear to be part of an attempt to find out how a CIA memo regarding torture that contradicted CIA testimony was 'leaked' to the committee."

    It matters not a wit if the Republicans on this committee have their staffers under suspicion, but if Udall and Fienstein are (belatedly) getting nervous perhaps something will come of this.

    we can only hope, but none of these congress critters are above throwing a staffer under the bus as long as nothing splashes back onto them.

    Unfortunately, all members of congress seem to be more afraid of defunding our "national security" apparatus and being blamed if something big happens than they are of the demise of democracy.
