can t beat undercover boss either. you look like that guy. the guys at the c.i.a. are undercover and so it s extraordinary that the top guy at the c.i.a. came out yesterday, william brennan, first time they ever had a live press conference and what he said, among other things, is that despite what the senate democrat report says on interrogation techniques, they did work. we did get good stuff and it did lead to bin laden. here he is defending the bush administration. listen. the previous administration faced agonizing choices about how to pursue al-qaeda and prevent additional terrorist attacks against our country. while facing fears of further attacks and carrying out the responsibility to prevent more catastrophic loss of life. there were no easy answers. whatever your views are on e.i.t. s, our nation and in particular this agency, did a lot of things right during this
and john brennan did something extraordinary. he had a live press conference and took questions with about 30 agents in the front row to look at him. he had met with the president earlier in the day and gave the president a personal daily briefing, at which time in my opinion, he seemed to hop among noise his remarks from early outrage yesterday, i thought he was going on both sides. this is what he had to say. the previous administration faced agonizing choices about how to pursue al-qaeda and prevent additional terrorist attacks against our country. while facing fears of further attacks and carrying out the responsibility to prevent more catastrophic loss of life. there were no easy answers. and whatever your views are on e.i.t. s, our nation and in particular this agency, did a lot of things right during this difficult time. there is a lot of exaggeration,
