House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should show proof that the CIA misled Congress on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques — or apologize, according to House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio.

"Lying to the Congress of the United States is a crime. And if the speaker is accusing the CIA and other intelligence officials of lying or misleading the Congress, then she should come forward with evidence and turn that over to the Justice Department so they can be prosecuted," Boehner said on CNN Sunday night. "And if that’s not the case, I think she ought to apologize to our intelligence professionals around the world.

Pelosi last week said the CIA misled Congress on whether waterboarding was being used against certain high-level terror suspects in September 2002. Boehner defended the intelligence community, saying it has done a "marvelous job" in keeping Americans safe. "Instead of criticizing them; instead of accusing them of lying, we ought to be patting them on the back and telling them, ‘Job well done,’" he continued.

Meanwhile, Dick Cheney’s daughter, Liz, said Sunday that waterboarding was not used to produce intelligence that linked Iraq to al-Qaeda in the run-up to the war in Iraq, even though former State Department official Lawrence Wilkerson recently said "alternative" interrogations were used to find such a link.
