Pelosi: I didn’t know about waterboarding
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pushing back on GOP charges that she knew about waterboarding for years and did nothing.
Pelosi says she was briefed by Bush administration officials on the legal justification for using waterboarding — but that they never followed through on promises to inform her when they actually began using “enhanced” interrogation techniques
“In that or any other briefing…we were not, and I repeat, we’re not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation techniques were used. What they did tell us is that they had some legislative counsel ... opinions that they could be used,” she told reporters today.
Earlier, House Minority Leader John Boehner (D-Ohio) criticized Pelosi and other Democratic leaders for backing probes into the use of waterboarding — after failing to raise objections during briefings on its potential use.
“Well, yesterday I saw a partial list of the number of members of the House and Senate, Democrats and Republicans, who were briefed on these interrogation methods and not a word was raised at the time, not one word,” Boehner told reporters at his weekly news availability.
“And I think you’re going to hear more and more about the bigger picture here, that what — the war on terror after 9/11 was done in a bipartisan basis on lots of fronts. And that bigger story will be coming out,” he added.
Pelosi says members who receive classified intelligence briefings are powerless to act on them — or even discuss them with staff.
As a consequence, some members simply skip the meetings, so they aren’t “hamstrung” by confidentiality requirements.
It’s ok to talk to yourself. It’s even ok to answer yourself. It’s NOT ok to say: “Huh?”
she does.....once she sent herself to the corner
.. honest
Oh, just an unusually stressful day. I’ll live. How’s bayou?
LOL.
2010. District by district - Madame Speaker will soon follow the fate of other lying Monarchs.
Sometimes the only way to get decent answers is to talk to yourself. My godfather told me that when I was young and I always remembered it!
The state House of Representatives passed the gay marriage bill late Wednesday night - codifying the State Supreme Court’s controversial decision that legalized gay marriage in Connecticut. The House voted, 100 to 44, several hours after the state Senate had voted, 28 to 7, to approve the codification. Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell says she will sign the bill into law. The bill was supported on the House and Senate floors by the two co-chairmen of the legislature’s judiciary committee - Rep. Michael P. Lawlor of East Haven in the House and Sen. Andrew McDonald of Stamford in the Senate.

What a bunch of gutless wonders. Afraid to be politically incorrect but morally just. They’re going to take this entire country to hell, literally.
Brilliant argument!
Good day to you.
What’s next, legalizing marriages between people and their pets?
How do you address the ball? “Hello, ball!”?
