Pelosi's CIA Accusation
In case you missed it, here's the video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi accusing the CIA of misleading Congress regarding the "enhanced" interrogation techniques it was using against terrorist suspects.
From The Note's write-up:
"The only mention of waterboarding at that briefing was that it was not being employed," Pelosi said, reading from a prepared statement. "Those briefing me in Sept. 2002 gave me inaccurate and incomplete information.""At the same time, the Bush administration was misleading the American people about the threats of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," she added. "The CIA was misleading the Congress. At the same time, the administration was misleading the Congress on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."
Porter Goss, who in 2002 was the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and later director of the CIA, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post late last month that Pelosi's comments continue to contradict.
He wrote that he is "slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as 'waterboarding' were never mentioned."
