House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to be a tool of the ACLU left as she is working hard to get rid of the McCain/Graham amendment to the war spending bill which will bar the release of photographs showing alleged U.S. abuses of terrorists.

Pelosi told MSNBC’s Ed Schultz on Wednesday, “I don’t think Congress should make an exception to FOIA" (freedom of information act). Of course Pelosi is reversing her earlier stance in which she said she would “support” the Obama administration’s push to keep the photos secret. The amendment was unanimously passed by the Senate. But a House-Senate conference committee working on the bill appears ready to eliminate the photo provision. Lieberman and Graham vowed Wednesday to shut down Senate business to save the legislation. Both men have stressed that they are less concerned about the legality involved than the grave threat to U.S. troops if the photographs are released.

That's the Issue, Pelosi and her Congressional Democratic followers are worrying about politics, the Senate is worrying about protecting our heroes overseas who risk their lives every minute of the day to protect our families.

Below is what the Generals Generals Petraeus and Odierno have said about the need to keep those pictures under wraps:

PeLIESi is a thief, a liar & a traitor who has been working against American interests from day 1 even down to her gluttonous spending as in having her own large jumbo jet. How this POS rose to power and delights in spending taxpayer monies on useless things escapes me.
