Reply #7: I remember when the neocons triggered this trap

They "briefed" a few Dems in leadership positions about what the program entailed. They were unable to share what they learned with anyone, not even legal council. What Pelosi is saying now is that they were told about the potential use of the program, but that it was not being used. She is also saying that she told them to inform her if they do(did) use torture, but they never got back to her.

These Dems were placed in an untenable situation because they were threatened with breaching national security if they so much as consulted an attorney as to the legality of the "program".
