Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used.
In a 10-page memo outlining an almost seven-year history of classified briefings, intelligence officials said that Pelosi and then-Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.) were the first two members of Congress ever briefed on the interrogation tactics.
The memo, was issued by the Director of National Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency to Capitol Hill and notes the Pelosi-Goss briefing covered enhanced interrogation techniques.
The issue of what Pelosi knew and when she knew it has become a matter of heated debate on Capitol Hill.
