The Pelosi Diversion, Cont'd.

Some members of Congress have started to come forward to say that the CIA's account of its briefings on the Bushit Assministration's torture program has factual errors.
Sen. Bob Graham is stating that the CIA's notes on the briefings he received were "factually inaccurate," and Rep. David Obey says that a staffer identified as attending a briefing in fact was denied access to the briefing.

The CIA has thousands of non-political, dedicated professionals and was misused by political appointees during the run up to the invasion of Iraq. George "Slam Dunk" Tenet and Porter "The Dick Is My Boss" Goss were up to their eyebrows in providing what Dumbya and The Dick wanted to see and hear, cherry-picking intelligence, overemphasizing some data and underemphasizing other data depending on how it fit the Dumbya/The Dick agenda. Now the Rethuglican operation is desperately trying to shift the spotlight to what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew. Unfortunately for them, her claims to have been misled by the Bush-era CIA are gaining more credibility as the days pass.

Again, we need a Truth Commission.
