Wow. Rachel Maddow somehow managed to get Philip Zelikow (Deputy SecState under Condi Rice) to submit to a live interview, the topic of which, was how the top brass in the Bush administration were intentionally kept in the dark re: torture and the black sites. An amazingly candid interview. If you missed it, itll repeat later tonight. Not that Im coming to the defense of the CIA, but I find it extremely convenient how little of what went on under the Bush administrations noses, that any of them are now willing to admit they were privy to. The CIA was naughty? Say it aint so! Were as surprised to hear about this as you are, honest! My left eyebrow is arched in full Spock mode. By the way, Zelikow was in the room in the spring of 2001 when Richard Clarke begged Condi Rice (then NatSec advisor) and him to focus more scrutiny on al Qaeda and to ignore Saddam. That sure panned out well, didnt it?
