Ex-CIA Official: Agency Brass Lied to Congress About Interrogations

"A CIA employee of two decades, McCarthy became convinced that 'CIA people had lied' in that briefing, as one of her friends said later, not only because the agency had conducted abusive interrogations but also because its policies authorized treatment that she considered cruel, inhumane or degrading."

Last month, former CIA Director Michael Hayden and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey sharply criticized President Obama's decision to release four "torture" memos, writing in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal that the "disclosure of the techniques is likely to be met by faux outrage, and is perfectly packaged for media consumption."

Yes, THAT (http://www.cjr.org/politics/jason_leopold_caught_sourceles.php) Jason Leopold.

About how many hits does truthout get in a business day? Maybe 25? Must be a well-paying gig for Jason.
I hope he held out for Pitt's old corner office.
