I've got to correct something I said yesterday about Bob Graham. I reported that Graham said that CIA had given him two erroneous dates for briefings. That was wrong (RawStory reported the number correctly, though). They gave erroneous dates for three briefings.

The difference is critical, because it means the CIA tried to claim it had briefed Graham on torture in April 2002, which would have put it in compliance with the National Security Act. But Graham, by consulting his trusty notebooks, proved that claim to be false.

1. So glad Sen. Graham is speaking out - it's harder for desperate criminal enablers to...

...malign him.

whether she knew or not is not the question. the question is did we torture,and what are the consequences of those actions?
