Pelosi Busted, Ctd

Greg Sargent questions ABC:

Last night, ABC News made a big splash by reporting that it had obtained intelligence documents proving that Nancy Pelosi was briefed about torture techniques in the fall of 2002, as Republicans have been charging. Folks on the right have been saying that the story proves Pelosi has been lying about what she knew about waterboarding and when.

But I have a copy of the documents, and a PDF of them is right here. They don’t prove the “lying about waterboarding” charge by any means.

Emptywheel points out other problems with the report.
