Marcy Wheeler thinks CIA director Leon Panetta is lying to us all, and she isn't afraid to tell him so directly:

Let me say this plainly. According to the CIA--the CIA itself--there's a reason why the interrogations don't resemble the "EIT [Enhanced Interrogation Technique] descriptions in the abstract contained in the OLC memoranda." That's because some cowboy probably named James Mitchell who was getting rich off of torture thought things would be more poignant--yes, the fucker actually said "poignant"--if he drowned Abu Zubaydah in gallons of water rather than sprinkling him like a daisy. There's a reason why the descriptions of torture as it was applied is such a problem--and yes, is evidence of unlawful conduct.  And that's because we know--we all know!!!!--that the torture began before the memos authorized it, and the torture exceeded what few guidelines John Yoo placed on it.

So don't give me this crap about not trying to avoid embarrassment--unless you start admitting how damning this shit is.

We know you're trying to hide the evidence of criminal torture. Insisting, over and over, under oath, that that's not what you're doing isn't convincing anyone.

Memo to Panetta: you really don't want to mess with Marcy.

Just sayin'.
