...outrage was predictably swift. "It's hard for me to imagine that anyone in our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress," House minority leader John Boehner told reporters in a press conference immediately following the Speaker's. "When you look at the number of briefings that the Speaker was in, and other Democrat members of the House and Senate, it's pretty clear that they were well aware of what these enhanced interrogation techniques were, they were well aware that they had been used, and it seems to me that they want to have it both ways...

In a move characteristic of the secrecy surrounding the settlement, Judge James S. Ware asked reporters to leave the courtroom during the proceedings. Ultimately, he rejected ConnectU’s appeals.
