Well, this is a big yawn to me, but some people still don’t seem to get it, so we must repeat until the lesson is learnt.
Republicans, hoping to turn the tables on Democrats who are open to prosecuting Bush-era lawyers for justifying “enhanced” interrogation techniques, are seeking to reveal the names of those lawmakers who were briefed on the tactics as much as seven years ago.
FOX News has learned there were more than 30 meetings and briefings with members of Congress on the subject since 2002.
The first such briefing dealt with the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, the Al Qaeda operations chief who ran the training camps in Afghanistan where the Sept. 11 hijackers were trained. Sources said California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, now the speaker of the House, attended the meeting with then-Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla. (who later became CIA director), and she did not raise any objections.
People assume that the party in the president’s office is the only one that signs off on such things. This fallacy is something that the Democrats fostered while Bush was in the chair.
Unfortunately, it’s not true. Most national security measures like this are passed to bi-partisan comittees and party leaders for oversight. Interesting to see the games that people like Pelosi are now playing, trying to deny all this happened with her ok.
