Bush Lie of the Day: "We Told Congress" (GOP, The Party of Treason) |
http://thinkprogress.org/2005/12/18/graham-no-reference/
White House lied about having briefed Congress about domestic spying
program
This morning, Condoleezza Rice defended the NSA evesdropping program
by arguing that congressional leaders — specifically “leaders of the
relevant oversight intelligence committees” — had been briefed on the
activities.
RICE: It’s been reviewed not just by the White House counsel but by
the lawyers of the Justice Department and by the lawyers of the NSA,
the National Security Agency, and by the Inspector General of the
National Security Agency, and it has to be reauthorized every 45 days.
And the Congress, the congressional leaders, including —
RUSSERT: Those are administration lawyers. Why not go to an objective
court?
RICE: — including leaders of the relevant oversight intelligence
committees have been briefed on this.
This is apparently not true. At the time the program was initiated,
the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was former Sen. Bob
Graham (D-FL). On Friday’s “Nightline,” Graham made clear he had never
once been briefed by the administration about the program:
There was no reference made to the fact that we were going to…begin
unwarranted, illegal — and I think unconstitutional — eavesdropping on
American citizens.
