What Did The Moonbats Know And When?

J.J. Jackson* | December 14, 2007

Despite the hand wringing over the destruction of CIA tapes by loony leftists, we learn that their fellow travelers knew!

After three days of screaming headlines about the CIA destroying videotapes in 2005 of the “harsh” interrogation of two terrorists, it now comes to light that in 2002 key members of Congress were fully briefed by the CIA about those interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. One member of that Congressional delegation was the future House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

The Washington Post on Sunday reported these series of briefings. While it is not our habit to promote the competition, readers should visit the Post’s Web site and absorb this astonishing detail for themselves as reported by Joby Warrick and Dan Eggen in “Hill Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002: In meetings, spy panels’ chiefs did not protest, officials say.”

Porter Goss, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee who later served as CIA director from 2004 to 2006 is explicit about what happened in these meetings: “Among those being briefed, there was a pretty full understanding of what the CIA was doing. And the reaction in the room was not just approval, but encouragement.”

Dun dun duuuuuuuuun!

Crap! Another moonbat talking point down the drain.
