"Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as "waterboarding" were never mentioned."I've yet to see where Speaker Pelosi made such a claim.
Furthermore, the CIA has released a table which summarizes the dates of briefings, subject of the briefings, and the names of those in attendance. The table shows that Pelosi was briefed in 2002, but the subject-entry for that briefing makes no mention of waterboarding. The subject-entry for a February, 2003 briefing NOT attended by Pelosi, does specifically mention "the waterboard." If waterboarding was discussed in the 2002, briefing, why was it not mentioned in the table summarizing the briefing subjects as it was for the February 2003 briefing? So far, the evidence favors Pelosi. See the CIA document here.
