Senator Feinstein's investigation of the CIA may have received a secret CIA torture confession with the help of a CIA whistleblower.

I hope this will teach Feinstein something about the ethics of whistleblowing.

It should also teach us that the Intelligence Committee has allowed itself to be cut off from the facts that it needs to investigate. If we want that committee to have a ghost of a chance of stopping the CIA from committing crimes against humanity, it must be given unrestrained access to any facts it considers pertinent, and must be empowered to jail officials for contempt of Congress if they obstruct the investigation.
