Before such a super secret agency like the CIA briefed Congress, I imagine it would have gone to great lengths to avoid any need to brief it. Having failed at that, it carefully vetted who did the briefing, what they were allowed to say, to whom and when.

Given the extra politicization of the bureaucracy under Cheney, this would all have been vetted with the White House. At these briefings, agency hands would have taken notes, to verify that its planned presentation(s) went off, er, as planned, and to record unexpected hiccups, useful in plotting preparing for subsequent briefings.

The idea that the CIA casually recorded incomplete notes about briefing intentionally too few CongressCritters on how it tortured prisoners is as ludicrous as Roger Moore playing 007.

No wonder these stooges missed the fall of Russia and 9/11. They can’t even keep accurate notes.

The CIA gives briefings and there are no complete record of it.
Then, that is only because they DO NOT WANT a record. They have the capacity and the skills to do that.
This is a spy agency after all, and their credo is deniability.
What could be more obvious.
If the CIA wanted a record of what was said, they would have one.
Obviously, the Congress members are restricted in recording super classified briefings.
what silliness!
