Nancy Pelosi just held a stunning press conference and its ramifications will be felt for a long time. Here's what we know. First, the so called debate over torture, as the left refers to it, or EIT's, as the right refers to it, has now focused squarely on the Speaker. She will be the focus of this debate for the indefinite period of time. Second, someone is in huge trouble. 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.

I think the substance of the issue is likely to be a problem for Pelosi - but just look at the style aspect of it - her presentation at the press conference.

The title of this article had me excited.
Grandma Mimi is cracking like an egg...

“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.
