How can there be uncertainty about what Nancy Pelosi was told???

The continuing controversy about CIA briefings attended by Nancy Pelosi and a limited set of congressmen during the Bush administration leaves one major point unaddressed. If the CIA summaries presented thus far are so full of obvious inaccuracies (wrong dates, wrong people on the list), why has not more attention been directed to this?

First of all, the claim is that congressmen could not take notes about what was told to them. Secondly, it is also apprarent that either no records were made during the briefings (as a secretary would do) or that records were made but are being withheld.

These briefings were top secret. The very idea that our government gave top secret briefings and then has no official record of what was said is just astounding to me. If one of those attendees were to have leaked top secret info, how could anyone ever prove what they were told? It would devolve to he said/she said as seems to be the case now.

Unless this approach has been official CIA policy all along, it smacks to me of the Bush approach of hiding, obscuring, and failing to reveal any information which would make them look bad or show them to be the liars they truly are.

Having no official record of Top Secret briefings seems to me to be a firing offense. If they can't handle something so obvious as this, what can they possibly handle with any degree of competence? Their record reveals the answer to that question.
