Is Team Obama behind CIA torture leaks?

Behind all the commotion by Congressional Democrats that the CIA is deliberately leaking its take on 2002-03 briefings of Congressional Democrats on torture and torture-lite, otherwise known as “enhanced interrogation techniques,” Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold is looking even further:
Intelligence Committee member Feingoldsaid it appears that “members of the committee or their staff were not in any way involved in [the release of the document]. It appears to come from the executive branch itself. ... I think it’s unbelievable.”

Would be a hard form of “pushback” against torture investigation, wouldn’t it? “Chicago politics”?

Yes and yes to the two rhetorical questions, therefore, Feingold could be quite right.
