Snitching

If somebody like John Kiriakaou--the former CIA agent who says that yes, indeed, the CIA does torture people--has the gumption to step forward and take the great risk of admitting that Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded and that he was involved, shouldn't we have expected more from people--say, in Congress--who, with money and publicity and all the rest, had a great deal less to lose (and possibly some to gain) by coming forward? For what other crimes are we going to have to wait for confessions from civilians and officers with moral consciences, and then hear statements of retroactive disgust from Democratic politicians, months after the moment at which they actually could have done something to prevent it.
