>> Making shit up doesn't make it true.

No, it doesn't.

But nobody's making shit up. Pelosi and Rockefeller were right there. There were more than 30 meetings and breifings with members of Congress since 2002.

"The briefings were given to the chairmen and ranking members of the intelligence committees in the House and Senate until 2006. That could cover Sen. John Rockefeller, W.Va., then-Sen. Bob Graham, Fla., and Rep. Jane Harman, Calif., all Democrats, as well as Sen. Pat Roberts, Kan., Sen. Richard Shelby, Ala., and Rep. Pete Hoekstra, Mich., all Republicans.

Defenders of the interrogation program note that if Congress had wanted to kill the program, all it had to do was withhold funding, which didn't happen.

Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, has personally requested from Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair an unclassified list of names of all members of Congress who attended those briefings, complete with dates and locations. "
