call for a complete investigation into this? If both sides call for an investigation - it takes the heat off of this being strictly a witch hunt by one or the other side. But if both sides are on board to have a complete investigation - neither can use the excuse that this is a witch hunt. As such it becomes a bipartisan activity and takes on a whole new level of credibility.

6. Boehner et al are looking pretty stressed out these days. Not to mention the TV Torture apologists

7. I Know That The Repugs Are Using It As A Diversionary Tactic But ......

I'm thinking a trap is being set for them to ultimately get then to support a complete investigation. Maybe even to the point that they will begin calling for one. This leaves Obama off the hook as this being political.

5. Smokescreen.

Kick up a lot of dust. Draw focus away from those who tortured and ordered the torture. Something Pelosi did not do.
