Dems Pushing for Torture Investigation

In a release Friday, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), ranking member on the House Committee for Government Reform, introduced legislation to create a committee to investigate prisoner abuse.
The move appears to have broad backing from all sides of the Democratic House caucus, including the Democrats' liberal and moderate leaders in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD).
The move to introduce legislation to create a select committee on abuse comes in the wake of a federal judge's ruling Friday that Americans must be allowed to see Abu Ghraib photographs.
