The fake narrative is nothing new for Brennan; a decade earlier Brennan was responsible for fake narratives about warrantless wiretaps under the Patriot Act to hide the real source of information that he was gleaning from the Torture Program.<ref>Brennan played a key role in the illegal wiretap program, overseeing the production of what personnel in the program called the “scary memos” intended to justify the domestic spying exposed by [''NYT'' reporter James] Risen. Brennan has since admitted that he relied on intelligence from the CIA’s interrogation programs to develop such memos, and his tenure in that role spanned the period when the CIA used its most extreme torture. https://www.thenation.com/article/government-war-against-reporter-james-risen/</ref>
