From CBS News of 12 March 2014:
Why Sen. Dianne Feinstein declared war on the CIA
Extremists in government (including Cheney) said if you were not an American citizen, then kidnapping anywhere in the world was legal, put you in a secret prision, deny you existed, torture you, and do so for as long as they wanted. Extremists Republican lawyers even wrote findings that said it was acceptable. The Senate finally started investigating in 2006 what became normal operation in the CIA many years earlier. And so a war has started. Some 'sneakies' fear you might learn of their Gestapo attitudes.
But then back in 2003, some even in the Cellar approved of their activities. Since non-Americans are second class people.

These are public accusations of criminal activity and a cover-up. It's a class of warfare that people have been craving since Snowden started leaking secrets about the U.S. surveillance state. Whether you think the intelligence agencies have gone too far or not, it's important to have the people's representatives battling for their right to do the job the Constitution puts before them. Otherwise the system gets out of whack. That was one of the lessons of Snowden's revelations and it's also the point of the story Feinstein took to the Senate floor to tell.

How does one get on the CIA's enemies list. Echelon. Echelon. Echelon. And I do not even have Ruby Slippers.
