The speaker was briefed on waterboarding and other torture techniques used by the White House. She was part of the select group of congressmen and women told of the program. She did nothing to stop it and now claims she was never told it was going to be used. Porter Goss has a different recollection: “We were briefed, and we certainly understood what C.I.A. was doing,” Mr. Goss said in an interview. “Not only was there no objection, there was actually concern about whether the agency was doing enough.” What a hypocrite!!! |

She knew about waterboarding, and she, and others, asked if there were other, harsher, techniques that could be used. The headline should read: "Speaker-to-be Knew About Waterboarding. Other Members of Congress asked for Harsher Techniques." I wonder if Leahy was there as well. |
