Feinstein: Public outrage should quell so Congress can investigate interrogation methods

Feinstein: Let Congress investigate interrogations

WASHINGTON — The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee says she hopes the public outrage over Bush-era interrogation methods subsides so Congress can calmly investigate the issue.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she wants congressional hearings to move forward on the interrogation techniques. The California Democrat says her committee already was investigating and that the White House didn’t contact her before releasing the memos.

Feinstein appeared Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
