If memory serves me right, Bush is no longer in office and the Democrats won the White House, and control the Senate as well as the House of Representatives.

So what does the Senate do? They vote to investigate the CIA’s actions under Bush, and are preparing to launch an investigation of the CIA’s detention and interrogation programs under President Bush, setting the stage for a sweeping examination of some of most secretive and controversial operations in recent agency history.

Those policies, in all likelihood, kept us free from another 9/11.

The new probe is aimed at uncovering new information on the origins of the programs as well as scrutinizing how they were executed — from the conditions at clandestine CIA prison sites to the interrogation regimens used to break Al Qaeda prisoners, according to Senate aides familiar with the inquiry plans.

One has to wonder where the members of the Senate Intelligence Committee (is that an oxymoron?) are going to hide when we get hit again?
