The Senate Intelligence Committee, which is supposed to oversee the
Central Intelligence Agency, has never held a public hearing on CIA
drone strikes. Indeed, in the year prior to the confirmation hearing
of John Brennan to head the CIA, the Senate Intelligence Committee
never held any public hearing on any issue whatsoever, which Steven
Aftergood of the Federation of Americans Scientists' Project on
Government Secrecy says "may be an unprecedented hiatus in the history
of the Senate Committee."

If we could get a hundred calls into each of
Feinstein's four California offices during the Senate recess - a
fraction of a percent of the politically engaged, hard core opponents
of the drone strike policy - do you think Sen. Feinstein might agree
to hold a public hearing?
