What do you expect the Senate will do with the report from the CIA regarding torture?

[kentuck]

Especially since the Director of the CIA said that 5 people (2 lawyers and 3 IT people) intercepted the information from the Senate Committee thru the computers of their staff??

What should the Senate be inclined to do? What will the Senate be inclined to do?

Will they drop it with a promise to never do it again?

Or will they finally say that someone has to be held responsible? After all, there was all kinds of evidence of torture from the Bush years. And no one was held responsible. One might have thought that they had learned their lesson and would never do anything like that again? One may argue that stealing information from the Senate oversight committee is nowhere near as bad as torture of prisoners under our control? But it is bad enough to warrant some type of punishment or retribution.

What do you think the Senate will do??

1. Join in the chorus of CYA and give disapproving looks at those who demand justice.

Just like for the torture perpetrated with their approval.

[Autumn]

2. The senate will bury it, as deeply as they can. They need no promise never to do it again.

They are just hunky dory with it, they are above it all or the CIA has plenty on them.

3. What do I expect?

Not even a sternly worded letter as far as the actual torture goes. But a major snit about the 'executive' spying on Congress, mainly because Obama chose (poorly in my books, but so be it) to express his 'confidence' in Brennan. I think it's more likely that the administration has very little, if any, control over 'the intelligence community', and this was just the CIA getting its rogue on.

5. Nothing of significance.

It will be interesting to see which Senators want a meaningful investigations and which ones want to mouth platitudes while doing nothing.

[Solly Mack]

6. Not much of anything at all.

[newfie11]

9. the senate is not allowed to do anything unless the moron teaparty ted cruz allows them to

the senate will do whatever harms Obama, or they wont do anything good unless they can harm Obama

the united states is under attack from viscous racists who hate the american govt

[kentuck]

12. Damn! This is really encouraging!

Not!

[Kaleva]

13. Nothing significant

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I believe they have a special unit for disposal of that sort of report.

[rock]

15. What a straight-man you are kentuck

[LWolf]

16. Absolutely nothing.

Say it again.

[spanone]

17. i would expect a democratically elected senate to throw out the report and demand a new one

but i don't expect that from this senate

[global1]

18. I Believe It Really Depends On Us The American People.....

If Senate offices are flooded with calls by us to hold someone or all involved to be held responsible then they will act. If they think we don't care or are not interested - nothing will happen. This will be swept under the rug. So how incensed are you about this? Will you blow in a call to your state Senators to get them to act?

19. To be honest...

I think it'll probably get stuck in one of these...



....and subsequently flushed with extreme prejudice.

[neverforget]

20. A strongly worded letter, an angry speech or 2 and

then sweeping it under the rug.
