Investigate Members of Congress about Torture

During a scantly noticed exchange in a Thursday Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) asked Attorney General Eric Holder a potentially explosive question -- given the furor over Nancy Pelosi's 2002 interrogation briefing.

Alexander wanted to know if the AG would consider investigating what House and Senate members knew about torture and when they knew it. And Holder didn't exactly reject the idea. - Politco News Story

By all means. If you are going to go after Bush Administration Officials then you have to Investigate and go after the members of the House and Senate that knew about it. They can't have it both ways. Those who knew about the techniques and did not stop them, can't turn around now and say it was illegal and not be held just as accountable. Mrs. Pelosi.
