After Sen. Mark Udall lost his seat last November a number of Americans, <a href="http://www.salon.com/2014/11/10/mark_udalls_perfect_farewell_how_he_can_go_out_in_a_blaze_of_glory/" target="_blank">including yours truly</a> [3],

tried to persuade him to release the Torture Report on his own if it

looked like the Intelligence Committee was going to lose its nerve. As

we all know, the Executive Summary was released yesterday and was as

explosive as many of us who’ve been following this story closely have

known for a long time that it would be. Many of these details were

known, of course, although some of them, like “rectal feedings” are

uniquely awful. (Truthfully, some of that had been hinted at before as

well.) Still, it’s an official document and that does make a difference.So

Sen. Udall was spared the risk of having to go to the floor to release a

classified document that, in this environment, could have easily bought

him some very unpleasant legal trouble. Yes, the Senate speech and

debate clause is supposed to protect him. But anyone who counts on such

things should have a chat with some of the whistle-blowers and reporters

who’ve been harassed and persecuted by the government these last few

years. These things are hardly clear-cut.However, despite the risk,

Udall did reveal some very important classified information anyway. And

for inexplicable reasons, nobody seems to have noticed. I’m talking

about information contained in the classified ”Panetta Review,” which

was the document the CIA was allegedly looking for when it infiltrated

the computers of the Senate staffers doing the investigation.Udall called it a smoking gun. Here’s what he said:<blockquote>The

Panetta Review found that the CIA repeatedly provided inaccurate

information to the Congress, the president, and the public on the

efficacy of its coercive techniques. The Brennan Response, in contrast,

continues to insist that the CIA’s interrogations produced unique

intelligence that saved lives. Yet the Panetta Review identifies dozens

of documents that include inaccurate information used to justify the use

of torture – and indicates that the inaccuracies it identifies do not

represent an exhaustive list.The Panetta Review further describes

how detainees provided intelligence prior to the use of torture against

them. It describes how the CIA – contrary to its own representations –

often tortured detainees before trying any other approach. It describes

how the CIA tortured detainees even when less coercive methods were

yielding intelligence. The Panetta Review further identifies cases in

which the CIA used coercive techniques when it had no basis for

determining whether a detainee had critical intelligence at all. In

other words, CIA personnel tortured detainees to confirm they didn’t

have intelligence – not because they thought they did.</blockquote>Considering

the headlines being made around the world about the report, you’d think

that the news media would be all over this. This report has been the

subject of intense controversy inside the Beltway. Of course, it’s

always possible that it implicates some of the very people to whom these

media outlets are so eager to give endless hours of face time defending

the agency’s tactics, so perhaps it’s something they’d rather not know.

(It would make it harder to present a nice “he said/she-said” story

line.)  It certainly implicates people like John Brennan, who Udall

urged the president to fire along with every other CIA employee

implicated in this horrifying episode.This will not happen, needless

to say, and Udall seemed to realize that when he issued a scathing

indictment of the president as well. And it had to be said:<blockquote>The

White House has not led on this issue in the manner we expected when we

heard the president’s campaign speeches in 2008 and read the executive

order he issued in January 2009. To CIA employees in April 2009,

President Obama said, “What makes the United States special, and what

makes you special, is precisely the fact that we are willing to uphold

our values and ideals even when it’s hard — not just when it’s easy;

even when we are afraid and under threat – not just when it’s expedient

to do so. That’s what makes us different.”This tough, principled

talk set an important tone for the beginning of his presidency. However,

fast forward to this year, after so much has come to light about the

CIA’s barbaric programs, and President Obama’s response was that we

“crossed a line” as a nation, and that, quote, “hopefully, we don’t do

it again in the future.”That’s not good enough. We need to be

better than that. There can be no cover-up. There can be no excuses. If

there is no moral leadership from the White House helping the public

understand that the CIA’s torture program wasn’t necessary and didn’t

save lives or disrupt terrorist plots, then what’s to stop the next

White House and CIA Director from supporting torture?</blockquote>Absolutely

nothing. Indeed, what this episode shows is that a Democratic White

House engaged in a torture coverup and 95 percent of Republicans on

record outright supporting it. Since there is impunity for having done

it, why shouldn’t they? It’s nothing more than a policy debate now, one

among so many, which breaks down upon the usual lines of hawks vs. doves

(John McCain, a torture victim, being the anomalous outlier.)The

revelation of the Panetta Review might change that, however. Americans

know that torture is immoral, but what we now know is that many people

also just don’t care as long as it “gets the job done.” Udall says the

Panetta Review agrees that it didn’t get the job done. That could

actually mean something, even to the likes of Wolf Blitzer and many of

the rest of the mainstream media, which seems intent upon allowing the

CIA apologists to carry the day. We need to see that report.</div><div class="big_story_tools_bottom_container">

Georgia-Pacific, incidentally, is registered with the California Secretary of State’s office as a limited liability company (LLC). This means none of its political activity will be hampered by <a href="http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/pdf/">Prop. 32’s proposed restrictions</a> [6] should the measure pass, as it only “[p]rohibits unions and corporations from contributing directly or indirectly to candidates and candidate-controlled committees.” An LLC is not considered a corporation nor, certainly, a union.

The Kochs’ most conspicuous foray into California politics—prior to their Prop. 32 support –came in 2010, when the Koch Industries subsidiary Flint Hills Resources donated $1 million to <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/koch-industries-war-california">support Proposition 23</a> [7]. Had voters ratified it, Prop. 23 would have overturned California’s landmark climate change prevention statute, AB 32. Flint Hills didn’t chip in out of climate change denial. The company has a substantial investment in Canadian tar sands oil, whose extraction and consumption creates a Sasquatch-sized carbon footprint. Robust clean emissions standards, Koch Industries complained on its website, “would cripple refiners that rely on heavy crude feedstocks.”

In addition to their attempts to cripple the state’s environmental laws, the Kochs seem to have a keen interest in opening up California’s waters to new offshore drilling. The Koch-backed American Future Fund, which supplied the recent $4 million lump-sum to Prop. 32, is a vociferous <a href="http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/columnists/sherman/article_57f884dc-a4a1-5f5b-98df-a4493b9ff497.html">“drill, baby, drill” backer</a> [8]. In 2008, the group went after Colorado Congressman <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2008/07/24/174097/udall-cuba-drilling/">Mark Udall </a> [9]in a series of ads for supposedly “blocking American energy” by refusing to support opening up protected waters for oil exploration. The pressure appeared to get to Udall, as he ultimately switched his position.

In August of 2008, the Koch-backed FreedomWorks organization also helped fund such <a href="http://exiledonline.com/teagagged-tea-party-protest-silenced-over-organizers-links-to-2008-drill-here-drill-now-astroturf-campaign/">pro-drilling, proto-Tea Party outfits</a> [10] as the Sam Adams Alliance and DontGo Movement. The combined Astroturf efforts of these groups helped convince the U.S. House and Senate to lift longstanding federal restrictions on new offshore oil and gas drilling.

Had the British Petroleum spill in the Gulf of Mexico not occurred in 2010, forcing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (a <a href="http://cal-access.ss.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1007775&view=expenditures&session=2005">major recipient</a> [11] of Georgia-Pacific campaign contributions) to rescind his efforts to open up California waters to new oil exploration, there’s a good chance the Koch’s national efforts would have been successful here too.

Now, with lessons of the BP spill two years in hindsight, the idea of offshore drilling in California has resurfaced. Koch Industries recently donated $5,000 to the Congressional campaign of Santa Barbara Republican <a href="http://m.vcstar.com/news/2012/may/24/fundraising-hits-17-million-in-county-race/">Tony Strickland</a> [12]—who, in various campaigns over the years, has <a href="http://votesmart.org/candidate/16765/tony-strickland">routinely advocated</a> [13] opening up waters off the coast of California to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2010/may/26/local/la-me-treas-controller-20100526">drilling</a> [14].

Though they don’t yet appear to have their feet in the door financially, there’s no reason to suspect that, with their army of lobbyists at the ready and history of campaign contributions in the state, the Kochs couldn’t maneuver to profit off of California’s offshore oil.

Mark Udall graduated from Williams College in 1972 and moved to Colorado. He was a faculty member at Colorado's Outward Bound School for 20 years, the last ten as executive director.

After only one term in the Colorado House of Representatives, Udall won the Democratic nomination for the 2nd District in 1998 after 12-year incumbent David Skaggs retired. The race was unexpectedly close, with Udall only defeating Boulder's Republican mayor, Bob Greenlee, by two points. However, he has since been reelected three times with little trouble.

Udall announced in 2004 that he would run for the Senate against Republican incumbent <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Wayne_Allard" title="Wayne Allard" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Wayne Allard</a> in 2008.
