Another “He-said-he-said” argument making news, this time between the CIA and Sen. Bob Graham. In this case the CIA’s records indicate that they told Graham the details about waterboarding but Graham’s records indicate that they didn’t. Or rather, that’s what both party claims, so in the absence of verifiable records, it relies on which party you trust more, which isn’t obvious.

From former presidential speechwriter to Jimmy Carter James Fallows:

Graham also has a specific reputation for keeping detailed daily records of people he met and things they said. He’s sometimes been mocked for this compulsive practice, but he’s never been doubted about the completeness or accuracy of what he compiles…
So if he says he never got the briefing, he didn’t.
