"Things You Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Blog Intermittently."

A better way to elicit confessions
Now updated with video excerpts - Jon Stewart did it more humorously, but the above provides the essence of how the "cover your ass" strategy seldom works.
It came out today that the CIA report had inaccuracies about who was at the briefings and how many times they were there. Rep.David Obey said the agency "erroneously listed a staffer who wasn't even there. Sen. Rockefeller also corrected who was there. Former Sen. Bob Graham forced CIA to correct that he was briefed only once, not 4 times. He also was not told of torture. If you trust the CIA, you don't know your history. They do the bidding of the president. With Bush that meant WMD lies and torture.
