We KNOW the CIA lied about the briefings. Period.
How? Senator Bob Graham's obsessively detailed nifty notebooks. Senator Graham has been mocked and scoffed at for his habit of keeping meticulously detailed diaries. They're coming in rather handy now.

I mean, really, who are you going to stand with; Bob Graham or the CIA?


Graham: CIA was 'loose with the facts' about interrogation briefings

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham said Friday that his detailed diaries show Democrats were told less about the interrogation of terrorists than the CIA claims.

Graham said the CIA claimed he was briefed four times about extreme interrogation techniques as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

He said he called the head of archives at the University of Florida, where his notebooks are stored, to check if he had listed the briefings.

"We established that three out of four of these alleged briefings never took place," he said.

4. Of course they did. "We" may not believe Pelosi, but Bob Graham is solid in my book.
Taking his word over that of a CIA employee who wasn't even there is a no brainer.

6. What percentage?
What percentage of DU posts are actually CIA manufactured misinformation?

5%, 25%, 2%? Any idea. folks?

Don't we have info on how many people in the CIA are in the MSM misinformation department? Aren't there hundreds on the CIA payroll that get paid in taxpayer money to misinform the people of America?

CIA blow back (AKA: Colossal clusterfucks) is what keeps the MICC in it's ever expanding growth mode!

7. Panetta Didn't Dispute the Inconsistencies Either
Just called for a Congressional investigation. A tacit admission, if you ask me.

8. As I've said many times before:
There are 3 kinds of lies at CIA:

The ones you tell to people on the inside
The ones you tell to people on the outside
then there are the lies you tell yourself.
