Don't Pin Your Hopes on Mark Udall

He's been sitting on full knowledge of the extent of US torture for years.

In his first interview since Election Day, Udall told The Denver Post that he would "keep all options on the table," including a rarely-used right given to federal lawmakers, to publicize a secret report about the harsh interrogation techniques used by CIA agents in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

He also vowed to make one final push to curb the National Security Agency and its power to gather information on ordinary Americans.

"Trying to run out the clock ... is not an option," Udall said Thursday of the long-hidden CIA report. "The truth will come out."

Keeping all options on the table.  And that's just where they'll stay.

Come on Mark. You’ll not be reading it into the record. You’re just taking advantage of your last opportunities to hold the national media attention.

With negotiations still in limbo, now nearly two years after the committee finished its investigation, free-speech advocates have leaned on Udall to take matters into his own hands before leaving office.

And he's not saying no.

Doesn’t have to.
