Now that you challenge me on it, I can't find a time where he has said that. What he said was that it was "too dangerous" to send someone through - and "Adrift" would be proof of that opinion.
There's an interesting passage in this regard from "End of Days":
Gwen: If Owen managed to open the rift to get you and Tosh back, can't we do the same thing for these people? We've still got the rift manipulator.
Jack: There's a world of difference. We're talking about taking control of time, not bringing two people back from the past. Besides, look at the damage Owen caused. We mess with it further, we'll put the planet in danger.
So - I misinterterpreted Jack. He didn't lie about it.
Going back over transcripts to look at mentions of the Rift, I am surprised how seldom it is mentioned. I think of it as topic frequently raised, and in every episode, but it isn't. Far from it.

Do they still have the Rift Manipulator?
