More Nancy Drew Files

It's impressive what a little actual journalism can turn up in the NANCY IS A LIAR case (emphasis mine):

Here's yet another reason (as if more were needed) to doubt that that CIA briefings document perfectly reflects what lawmakers were told about torture back in the early days of the war on terror.

Almost every briefing described in the document -- including the September 2002 Pelosi briefing that's directly at issue -- refers to "EITs," or enhanced interrogation techniques, as a subject that was discussed. But according to a former intelligence professional who has participated in such briefings, that term wasn't used until at least 2006.

That's not just an issue of semantics. The former intel professional said that by using the term in the recently compiled document, the CIA was being "disingenuous," trying to make it appear that the use of such techniques was part of a "formal and mechanical program." In fact, said the former intel pro, it wasn't until 2006 that -- amid growing concerns about the program among some in the Bush administration -- the EIT program was formalized, and the "enhanced interrogation techniques" were properly defined and given a name.

Surprise, surprise! The CIA didn't use the term EIT until four years AFTER the time Pelosi was briefed.

Which means the briefing that the CIA produced to throw doubt on Pelosi's claims is in and of itself as fishy as a mountain trout stream. Once again, even a little legwork has blown holes in the claim that the CIA's briefing is correct, and gives ample room to explain Pelosi's side of the story as being true.

But you want catch our Liberal Media Steno Pool expending the energy to even bother checking up. Instead they give plenty of press coverage to the Republican effort to force her resignation.
