WASHINGTON –  The man who oversaw the controversial CIA interrogation program defended the use of the techniques used on militants --  including waterboarding -- and said members of Congress, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, were “fully aware” of the methods used.

“She never objected to the techniques at all,” Jose Rodriguez, former director of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, said on "Fox News Sunday." “All of these techniques were approved by the lawyers.”

The two were often at odds over whether the techniques described in the report constituted torture, whether the methods were effective and if the CIA misled the White House and Congress.

The CIA report dominated most of the Sunday talk shows.

Last week, former Vice President Dick Cheney called the controversial CIA interrogation report “full of crap,” during an interview with Fox News.

“I think it is a terrible report, deeply flawed,” Cheney said, in his first televised interview since the report’s release early last week. “It’s a classic example of where politicians get together and throw professionals under the bus.”

Cheney said he had not read the entire 6,000-page document, drafted by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, or the 500-page declassified and redacted executive summary made public.

P.S. She didn't know Gruber either...LOL
