Um... the issue is that for months and months she has been saying she knew nothing about the waterboarding, that she didn't know it was even on the table, that she had never heard it discussed, that she had never been briefed on it....

And now it has come to light that in fact she did attend a briefing where it was discussed.

And I guess she was so horrified at the thought that they believed it was legal that she just quit going to meetings.

I've gotta say.... when I'm part of a committee and something 'hot' is up, I don't miss a single meeting.

So if Nance was as bothered by waterboarding as she says she is, why did she not even show up to be briefed after she learned that they had been counseled that the tactics they wanted to employ were legal? Were I her, I would have considered their having gotten legal counsel about waterboarding as a precursor to employing it, and if it was something I found as disturbing as she claims it to be, you could not have kept me away from subsequent briefings.

It's about her lying about what she knew and when she knew it.

Makes you wonder if she knows what the meaning of 'is' is.

Yesterday at that press conference she was obviously having difficulty keeping her stories straight.

I don't doubt that the CIA presented the view that they most wanted to be true, but as 'the opposition', did she not have a responsibility to red flag things they said if she didn't trust their words? And yet, rather than red flags, she apparently decided to put up the red, white, and blue bunting and hit the whistle stops with her cohorts.
