Sen. John McCain 'On the Record' on Torture, Pelosi and More

Friday, May 22, 2009

MCCAIN: In the case of the Speaker, the Speaker brought it up. The Speaker has made an accusation of the utmost gravity, that one of the most important agencies of government lied to Congress, or quote, "misled" Congress. That, in my view, is something that she has to prove.

McCain Denies Giving OK to a CIA Torture Tactic

1. Setting it up as the CIA's fault? Good try.
Cheney only spent more time running back and forth to them than any VP in history. And we all know why.

Even if true, it doesn't absolve the responsibility. I'll always remember Wes Clark using the term "stovepipe". Right to the top.
