In a yet another tortured explanation of what she knew, and when she knew it, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now claims that she was "misled" by the CIA regarding the use of enhanced interrogation techniques.
"They misled us every step of the way."In a just concluded press conference, Ms. Pelosi stopped short of calling the CIA briefers "liars", but the distinction was one of semantics only.
Calling for a "Truth Commission," Pelosi attempted to tie the CIA interrogation briefings to later briefings by the Bush Administration regarding WMD's in the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. The twisted explanation would require "a willing suspension of disbelief," and IMO, makes the torture debate less about enhanced interrogation techniques and embarrassing the Bush Administration, and more about Nancy Pelosi's credibility.

LOL!
What did Speaker Pelosi know and when did she know it?
Oh, the sharks are circling the waters now. :)
I'm sure its Nancy Pelosi.
“Nancy Pelosi accused a yet unidentified CIA briefer of lying to her in a late 2002 briefing on EIT’s. That briefing took place months after we now know that Abu Zubaydah was in fact waterboarded. Pelosi claims that the briefing only said that waterboarding was found to be legal and the CIA was thinking of using it.”
So, who was the director of the CIA from 9/11 to 2004?
George J. Tenet 1997–2004 was the director of CIA.
Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet became the CIA director in August of 1997.
So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to Nancy.
