Feinstein's Failure

Writing for The Washington Post, Marc Thiessen says Democrats totally lost the fight over "torture" of jihadi detainees in Guantanamo and elsewhere in black prisons in accommodating countries. See what he writes:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who chairs (sic) the Senate intelligence committee, launched a six-year, 6,000-page, $40 million investigation into the CIA interrogation program, with the goal of convincing Americans that a) the program did not work and that b) enhanced interrogations were wrong and should never again be permitted. She failed on all counts.

Just before Christmas, a Post poll revealed the American people’s final verdict. The vast majority agree with the CIA that these techniques were necessary and justified. A majority think that Feinstein should never have released her report. And — most importantly — 76 percent said they would do it again to protect the country.

It should be noted that Sen. Feinstein no longer chairs a committee in the new Republican-majority Senate.
