Posted at 5:28pm on Jun. 28, 2008 David Addington, not yet killed by al Qaeda (much to Rep. Delahunt's dismay), PWNs Debbie Wasserman-Schulz

By Jeff Emanuel

Not allowed to return to his usual daily affairs after essentially being wished a slow death at the hands of al Qaeda by Democrat Congressman and Obama superdelegate Bill Delahunt (MA-10), David Addington, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, had to grit his teeth and face a barrage of mindlessness from Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20), as well, in Guantanamo Bay/detainee treatment hearings on Capitol Hill Thursday.

From the C-SPAN transcript (both transcript and video are available here):

Wasserman Schultz: Did you discuss specific types of interrogation methods that interrogators should use while at Guantanamo Bay on the detainees?

Addington: I don't recall doing that, no.

WS: That means you didn't, or you don't recall doing it?

A: I don't recall doing it, as I said

WS: Well, it's hard to fathom that you would not have a recollection on specific conversations about typeds of interrogation methods as opposed to just generally talking about interrogation.

A: Is there a question pending, ma'am?

WS: The question is I don't believe that you don't recall whether you discussed specific interrogation methods. So I will as you again. Did you discuss specific interrogation methods on any of your trips to Guantanamo Bay with people who would be administering the interrogation.
