Pelosi accuses CIA of misleading her on use of waterboarding - CNN.com
Thoughts?
Pelosi reiterated an earlier claim that she was briefed on such techniques only once -- in September 2002 -- and that she was told at the time that the techniques were not being used.
A recently released Justice Department memo says that the CIA used waterboarding at least 83 times in August 2002 in the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, a suspected al Qaeda leader imprisoned at U.S. facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Pelosisaid that one month later, she was told only that the Justice Department had concluded that such techniques were legal, not that they were being used.
"That's the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier, they were," Pelosi said at her weekly news conference.
