“Only one Congressperson is known to have objected to waterboarding when it would have made any difference”

Who was it?

Jane Harmon I believe, Nancy’s nemesis back then for power.

From the other long thread:

Harman, who replaced Pelosi as the committee's top Democrat in January 2003, disclosed Friday that she filed a classified letter to the CIA in February of that year as an official protest about the interrogation program.

And I guess it might be in this Washington Post article:

Hill Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002

**************************EXCERPT**************************

In Meetings, Spy Panels' Chiefs Did Not Protest, Officials Say

****************************snip************************

Harman, who replaced Pelosi as the committee's top Democrat in January 2003, disclosed Friday that she filed a classified letter to the CIA in February of that year as an official protest about the interrogation program. Harman said she had been prevented from publicly discussing the letter or the CIA's program because of strict rules of secrecy.

"When you serve on intelligence committee you sign a second oath -- one of secrecy," she said. "I was briefed, but the information was closely held to just the Gang of Four. I was not free to disclose anything."
