Senator Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, got really testy with Wolf Blitzer today about whether the torture report her committee released might put Americans at risk.
Blitzer brought up security concerns raised by government agencies. Feinstein said there’s “no perfect time to release this report” and took a shot at CNN for “hyping the warnings.” Blitzer responded, “But if Americans are killed as a result of the report… I assume you would feel guilty about that.”
Feinstein took offense at Blitzer’s line of questioning, and Blitzer had to take a minute to clarify that all he’s doing is reporting on what the government is saying. Feinstein, rather testily, asked, “Is there a question?”
They kept going back and forth over the report, with Blitzer questioning why the Senate committee didn’t speak to anyone from the CIA. Feinstein ended the interview by saying she doesn’t want to fight with anyone, encouraging people to read what the report says.
