The Democrats defense to all this? Goss was a Bush appointee.

They’ll insist to their dying day that the GOP and Bush misled them on the interrogations and that they didn’t know.

Never mind that the meetings all corroborate Goss and other GOPers present who recount that the Democrats were not only present, but assented and that some present even believed that the interrogations didn’t go far enough in being able to wring necessary and critical info from the detainees.

Keep in mind also that we’re talking about harsh interrogations on three terrorists - including KSM.

Not every detainee in Gitmo was waterboarded, though that’s the feeling you’d get from reading headlines and glancing through the media reports, to say nothing of the political types who want people to think that the CIA was torturing detainees left and right.

Ignore the part that waterboarding and other harsh interrogations was not torture, and the legal memos released showed the lengths to which the CIA went to figure out tactics that didn’t engage in torture.

It’s indeed an epidemic of amnesia. It’s also an epidemic of aloofness and moral relativism that will get people killed.
