Turns out, knowing whether the CIA committed heinous acts of torture and then lied about it- not that important any more. Obviously they don't want another news cycle of Cheney vs. Pelosi, given how that turned out last time. But you'd think they'd be a little more subtle about it, if only for the sake of formality. Here's the beginning of the FNC interview with Bishop, courtesy of their auto-transcriber plus heavy cleanup:

FNC: [Pelosi] quickly came under fire for those comments and then tried to avoid commenting any further. But House Republicans want answers, introducing an amendment to a bill calling for a special investigation into Pelosi's charges. Democrats last night effectively shutting that amendment down and as it stands now, there will be no investigation. The cosponsor of that amendment is Republican Congressman Rob Bishop of Utah. He's my guest now. Good morning congressman. BISHOP: Good morning. FNC: So why did submit this amendment. BISHOP: Well it's for the integrity of the House. If -- if the house has been subject to systematic statements that are misleading. If we have been lied to by an agency of government. Then we need to know that. Because if our data that is inaccurate then all the decisions we make will be suspect and inaccurate as well.

Therein follow a few minutes of "but you don't believe that, you're just calling Pelosi's bluff" vs. "umm... the point of calling someone's bluff is that I can't say that out loud." Click on the image to watch.

In any case, the odds of the Democrats letting this get to the floor are somewhat less than stellar (h/t: Holly).
