Wanted to determine who was behind the amendment to the original bill and now

And shame on you Paul Ryan Rep. WI for voting yea

The Senate passed the Intelligence authorization bill the same day a report came out on the CIA’s use of torture.
H.R. 4681, the Intelligence Authorization Act, funds intelligence agency programs for 2014 and 2015.
Because of the classified nature of intelligence programs, details on the appropriations bill are limited. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the two-year measure would cost roughly $1 billion.
The Senate passed the measure by voice-vote on the same day the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report saying the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) tortured detainees and lied to Congress and the public about its activities.
The House passed H.R. 4681 on a 345-59 vote in May, but because the Senate added an amendment from Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) the measure will go back to the House for further action.

Surely Obama will veto it and send it back, um to Feinstein.
And how ironically noble of her to scold the CIA for human rights violations against terrorists, none U.S. citizens, on the same day she enacted an amendment that violates the constitutional rights of virtually every U.S. citizen using an electronic communications device.
