Last month the CIA released the first batch of documents regarding congressional briefings on enhanced interrogation techniques(EITs). The documents were released on judges orders based on a freedom of information act request by Judicial Watch. That initial batch proved that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was lying when she said she wasn't told about EITs:
Last year, Pelosi said she was only briefed once on the advanced interrogation methods, in September 2002. At the time, Pelosi was the House Minority Whip and top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. She said in May 2009 that CIA briefers told her that "the use of enhanced interrogation techniques were legal," and added that waterboarding "was not being employed."
CIA records show that during the September 2002 briefing, Pelosi and others were given "a description of the particular enhanced interrogation techniques that had been employed" on Zubaydah. The U.S. was already waterboarding Zubaydah by that point. CIA officials said they believed agency briefers had indeed informed Pelosi that Zubaydah was undergoing waterboarding sessions.
Now Judicial Watch has received the second installment of documents, these from a July 2004 congressional briefing. This meeting was significant not only because it provides additional proof that EITs were discussed with Congress, but because the legislators were told point blank that enhanced interrorgation techniques worked. No wonder why the Obama administration fought so hard to keep the details of these briefings secret.

Are things starting to ‘leak’ in a planned manner?
I hope some of the Congressional Repubs stand up in front of cameras and link her lying ways with the buffoonery she’s pulling in trying to squeeze out these last votes. She’s a serial lair and needs to be branded as such and particularly in the context of her attempts to get ‘yes’ votes. The members need to know they’re being lied to.
Time to topple San Fran Nan.
If the MSM doesn’t report it then it doesn’t exist.
She needs to resign now.
