The CIA would never lie!
Edited on Fri May-15-09 06:21 AM by Atman
Oh wait...it's what they do, by design. We call them "spooks" and revealing anything about what they're up to is a crime (unless you're a VP seeking retribution). This whole line of defense by the Torture Party is ridiculous at best. Of course the CIA would lie! They would destroy tapes, they would invent evidence, they would assassinate people...but Boner and Scarborough and the rest of the torture defenders are feigning shock that anyone could think a SPY AGENCY might not be totally forthcoming about their activities.

:crazy:

4. And how do these guys know the CIA hasn't lied to them?
Just because they sat at a table and gave them a briefing? They're professional liars! They can "create their own reality," as the neocons once so famously bragged.

Of course I don't know if he remembers when he called them liars in 2007.

3. yeah. Scarborough
asking every guest "SO, what do you think of NANCY PELOSI accusing the CIA of LYING TO HER!?" This is the man who said yesterday that the FBI interrogators who said that torture does not work were "Just jealous" of the CIA, And earlier on the show, they put up a graphic named "Pelosi and the Press", showing how many newspapers were covering the story today (example : WSJ A1; Washington Post B2, etc)....not sure what this is supposed to prove, since most newspapers um, cover the same stories?
