DAVE'S COMPILATION----DESERVES A REPEAT A keeper for future reference for sure:
ITEM On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intel Committee chair, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committees ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. The first members of Congress to be informed.
ITEM George J. Tenet was appointed CIA director Aug 1997 (served during 9/11 to 2004).
ITEM Tenet was appointed by Pres Clinton and approved by Congress.
ITEM Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her, or ordered his congressional briefers, to lie to Nancy.
I nominate you for Michael Steele’s job.
