Yeah, she’s believable:But Goss remembers the meeting differently:

Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, who in 2002 was the ranking Democrat on the House committee, has said in public statements that she recalls being briefed on the methods, including waterboarding. She insists, however, that the lawmakers were told only that the C.I.A. believed the methods were legal — not that they were going to be used.By contrast, the ranking Republican on the House committee at the time, Porter J. Goss of Florida, who later served as C.I.A. director, recalls a clear message that the methods would be used.”We were briefed, and we certainly understood what C.I.A. was doing,” Mr. Goss said in an interview. “Not only was there no objection, there was actually concern about whether the agency was doing enough.”

Allahpundit has more evidence that she’s lying.Why not just release the minutes of the meeting and see who is right? It’s important to know who in Congress knew about torture and didn’t do anything about it. If Democrats are going after Bush administration officials, then they better go after Congress as well. Otherwise they’re admitting what this is: political payback. BTW, for those of you who like to shoot the messenger instead of dealing with the issue, I’m against torture.
