WASHINGTON -- New questions surfaced Wednesday about the accuracy of a CIA document meant to settle who in Congress knew about severe interrogation methods approved by the Bush administration.
Three new errors appeared to emerge in the CIA's matrix of 40 congressional briefings on so-called enhanced interrogation techniques. Those techniques include waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning, which President Obama has called torture.
The CIA acknowledged one of the errors but continued to stand by its version of events in the other two cases.
The briefing chart, widely leaked to the news media two weeks ago, was compiled by the CIA at the request of members of Congress after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed in April that the CIA failed to tell her at a September 2002 briefing that waterboarding had been used against a prisoner. - FOX News Story
Democrats are going to nit-pick the briefing memos to find any miniscule error that they can. It is an attempt to find several minor errors to be able to come back and say that there are so many errors that the memo's can't be believed. It is an old legal trick.
Bottom line is, Pelosi was well aware of the Interrogation Techniques that were taking place and did nothing to stop it. She now wants to claim that she was unaware because she wants to paint it as torture. She knows that she can't blame the Bush Administration and Republicans if everyone knows that she was aware of it and did nothing.
