What is the point in this hearing other than being a waste of time and money?
No one will be prosecuted. It's just another version of the blame game to be used as future ammunition in campaign crochet as a well deserved ball buster
Wednesday's hearing will be chaired by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who also is a member of the Intelligence Committee and attended secret briefings on the interrogation methods by intelligence officials in the George W. Bush administration.
Whitehouse said in an interview that he offered legislation in the Intelligence Committee to ban the harsh methods. His measure became part of legislation that passed under the sponsorship of the committee chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
But Whitehouse said he never protested to the Bush administration because "it never crossed my mind that it would make the least bit of difference."
