The audacity of truth--The Obama Files

is the title of Sister Toldjah's collection of columns on Barack Obama. This one on the newest virus of amnesia affecting Democrats in Congress. . .

"In the fall of 2002, while I was chairman of the House intelligence committee, senior members of Congress were briefed on the CIA’s “High Value Terrorist Program,” including the development of “enhanced interrogation techniques” and what those techniques were. This was not a one-time briefing but an ongoing subject with lots of back and forth between those members and the briefers.

Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as “waterboarding” were never mentioned. It must be hard for most Americans of common sense to imagine how a member of Congress can forget being told about the interrogations of Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In that case, though, perhaps it is not amnesia but political expedience." Porter Goss

Unfortunately, the media are unable to lift their heads with Obama's foot on their necks (not that they want to), but gradually the truth might seep out. They probably haven't been able to "correct" and modify every digitized report from those years--that's the value of paper, you know.
