The report says that:

"Congressional leaders were briefed repeatedly on the CIA's use of severe interrogation methods on Al Qaeda suspects, according to new information released by the Obama administration Thursday that appears to contradict the assertions of House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi."

 

So was Pelosi lying when she said the following?

"We were not — I repeat were not — told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used."

 Fox News, never a Pelosi fan, said:

"Republicans have already accused Pelosi and other Democrats of having selective and politically motivated amnesia when it comes to who knew what, and when, about the Bush-era interrogation programs. Those accusations were leveled in light of a Washington Post story published in 2007 that quoted two officials saying the California Democrat and three other lawmakers had received an hour-long secret briefing on the interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, and that they raised no objections at the time."

 

 Never a dull moment in Washington!
