Complicity on torture

Last December, the Washington Post revealed that you were one of four members of Congress secretly briefed on "the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk", including waterboarding. And yet, as Glenn Greenwald notes, you took no steps to stop or restrict an interrogation program the International Red Cross has emphatically called "torture". Would you allow or impede criminal investigations into the Bush Administration's use of torture based on the fact that you were complicit in it? Or do you dispute your complicity?
