House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted Friday that she was briefed only once about the "enhanced" interrogation techniques being used on terrorism suspects and that she was assured by lawyers with the CIA and the Department of Justice that the methods were legal.

Pelosi issued a statement after CIA records released this week showed that Pelosi was briefed in September 2002 on the interrogation methods.

Waterboarding WAS lawful. Until Obama decided otherwise.

There was a legal decision on its application.

Exactly, someone might point out to her, YOU MAKE THE LAWS. So if she thought the methods should be illegal, she should have introduced a bill.

BURN in HELL!

She won’t care about who the psychopathic murderers kill of us American’s until she get one of her own family’s head back in a box.

Traitor.

Now that she IS ‘fighting back” I want every document released that she attended.

Waterboarding was legal, as there was no law or policy or regulation prohibiting it.

My suspicious mind makes me think that 0bama is trying to cook Pelosi’s goose for some reason I can’t yet perceive.

Really. Keep talking, keep changing your story, Nancy. And if I were you, I would take care of those flaming pants and put the fire out before you get hurt. Oops. Too late.

So again we know she and her socialist band of criminals lie. That’s what they do - it comes very naturally to them to lie. Just like muslim/terrorists - they can lie to us because we are not one of them!

Lawful? She's the lawmaker, if she thought what she described as torture was lawful, then it was up to her to make it not so.

Pelosi: “I was for using the enhanced interrogation techniques before I was against them (and before The One was elected)”.

Does the name Ernst Röhm ring any bells?

Exactly. All the years of biotching over this by Democrats far and wide, but they are on the warpath about something that is LEGAL? This is too stupid by half...or more.

Is she unhappy that some people drive only under the speed limit, and so only comply with the law?

Is she unhappy that most Americans obey the tax laws, and pay the amount the IRS tables tell them to pay?

What other legal actions by the troops and interogators is she completely upset about now? Come clean, Nancy!

They were, Nance. That’s what the whole legal review thing was about. That’s why there’s “oversight.” Which is supposed to cover that, if its trustees aren’t otherwise occupied chanting “Culture of Corruption” like a ruptured parrot and playing politics with the country’s security.
