Believe it, champ. And welcome to the club.
He doesn’t name any names but there’s no question who he’s aiming at.

But Pelosi, Reid, Franks and Schumer are in a league of their own.

The enemy within.
If the techniques, such as waterboarding, were not told, then how in He!! did “waterboarding” get in the lamestream media and cause such a stink? Liars, liars, pants on fire.
Come on, Goss, name names!
I hope that Goss has taken steps to ensure that minutes of the meetings have been preserved and secured against tampering, theft or distructon.
There should be daily demands along the lines of "What did Speaker Pelosi know and when did she know it?"
There should be daily statements questioning her veracity, her memory, her competence to lead the House.
Nancy Pelosi lied. She loses credit with the Left for not having objected at the time. She loses credit with the middle for being shown to be a bald-faced liar about a national security issue.
Sure, it puts the torture story front-and-center -- but most people would agree that "extreme measures" were appropriate and that waterboarding, sleep deprivation, etc. is not torture. It also serves to underscore and support this interpretation -- because it highlights that the Democrats had no objection at the time.
There is no way the 'Rats can win this (if the Pubbies bother to make an issue of it).
Pathological liar? Sociopath? (Or new word, Democralogical liar or Demopath).
There is something sick looking about Pelosi. Can’t put my finger on it. Gives me the creeps.
She has a look like Stan Laurel when he was trying to look blank and dumb.
More commentary at the link.Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as “waterboarding” were never mentioned. It must be hard for most Americans of common sense to imagine how a member of Congress can forget being told about the interrogations of Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In that case, though, perhaps it is not amnesia but political expedience.
Let me be clear. It is my recollection that:
– The chairs and the ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, known as the Gang of Four, were briefed that the CIA was holding and interrogating high-value terrorists.
– We understood what the CIA was doing.
– We gave the CIA our bipartisan support.
– We gave the CIA funding to carry out its activities.
– On a bipartisan basis, we asked if the CIA needed more support from Congress to carry out its mission against al-Qaeda.
I do not recall a single objection from my colleagues.
Leftists are meat-puppets with demons inside.
In Pelosi's particular case, it's a really frustrated demon trying to work a really stupid meat puppet.
Theory:
The CIA has intel on Obamas obscure history, and have the capability of leaking it to the press.
Obama just gave the CIA reasons not to leak as they did against Bush to the New York times , for example. So Obama will not brook similar treatment, without the prosecution of CIA officials who were involved in the interrogation ( torture?sic) of Islamofascists.Obama just declared war on the CIA.
It is a battle Obama will lose.
It is my bet that the CIA has a genuine copy of Obamas long form COLB.
Hell if the CIA doesn’t have his Kenyan Birth Certificate, I sure they can make one.
KEWL!
DASCHLE was a master PRO at this when he was in, he had the media nearly every day spouting off about how the REPUBLICANS were shutting down Congress or other such matters. EVERYDAY he had the mic, just like SLIMBO has today.
Oh come on! Someone is surprised that Pelosi is a world-class shameless liar?
...Nice thought.... Let’s hope Obama pushes a little too hard and a little too fast.
