When the Director of National Intelligence lies to the Senate« Thread Started on Sept 13, 2007, 10:18am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------When the Director of National Intelligence lies to the SenatePosted September 13th, 2007 at 9:00 am read at source> http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/ar ... 864.htmlOn Monday, Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on recent changes to the FISA law, which the Bush administration has insisted were necessary to keep Americans safe. In defending the law, McConnell seems to have lied to the Senate. Badly.Joe Lieberman asked whether the new law, passed shortly before the August recess, played a role in facilitating the arrest of terrorist suspects in German last week. McConnell was unequivocal: “Yes, sir, it did.” It wasn’t an off-hand comment — McConnell went into some detail explaining how and why the law provided potentially life-saving intelligence in this specific example in Germany. When a noticeably-impressed Lieberman restated the revelation — that the eavesdropping ability allowed under the updated surveillance law helped foil the purported plot in Germany — McConnell did not object.
