Bob Graham, past chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committe: “I'm not impressed with the credibility of the CIA as it was being led in 2002. I think it had become an agency that instead of following the admonition to speak truth to power, it was trying to speak what it thought power wanted to hear.” We need to forget the past and move on. This is another stupid diversion, but that is to be expected, given politics American style. Why don’t they just pull the transcript?

Directly disputes her on the matter of his agency deliberately misleading anybody in Congress, even before his watch.
