The saga of Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) gets even more outrageous, as the possibility arises that he fabricated most of the “FBI memo” he quoted in his now-infamous Senate speech: Durbin Revises and Extends Gitmo Remarks. (Hat tip: Myopic Zeal.)
One knowledgeable official familiar with the memo cited by Durbin as well as other memos said the FBI agent made no such allegation and that the memo described only someone chained to the floor. Anything beyond that is simply an interpretation, the official said.
UPDATE at 6/20/05 5:13:52 pm:
LGF readers point out that the memo (actually an email) from which Durbin quoted can be found at the ACLU’s site: FBI email. (PDF file.)
