She knew from the beginning. According to a CIA document compiled by the Director of National Intelligence summarizing briefings to Congress on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorist detainees, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) knew from the very beginning that those techniques -- including waterboarding -- were being used on September 2, 2002.
According to the memo the very first briefing listed is 9/4/02 with then Rep. Porter Goss & Pelosi. The summary of the briefing says:
Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed.
This directly contradicts Pelosis story, that we were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.
As HUMAN EVENTS reported earlier, Pelosi - by objecting to the use of the enhanced interrogation techniques - could have stopped them but didn't.
Pelosi's misstatements were apparently intended to divert attention from her and other Democrats in Congress who knew of all the enhanced interrogation methods -- in detail -- apparently as soon as they were being used.
OBAMA is THE LIAR IN CHIEF...
The bomb could blow up in his face of croock taking postures
The time stamp has this article out first. The other one needs canned.
They won’t answer to this they can do whatever they want.
Both of these articles have been in breaking since last night.
While it’s important and definitely breaking. . . um. . . yeah.
“We should call for her resignation.”
Immediately.
Moderates,Independents, ALL see she is beyond inadequate
Just think of all the money saved from her private jet trips!
This isn’t news. Pelosi never expected the media to do its job and she thought she could continue lying about her ignorance. She is such a hypocrite.
Saturday Night Live could make money doing Pelosi like they did Palin.They won’t.
She is Arlen Specter in drag.
Think about it, do you ever see them together, heh?
“You should at least check Breaking News before posting?”
Excuse me?
I quit taking orders 40 years ago. LMAO
FR certainly has the right to post a thread in “Breaking News” if it deems it “Breaking News”
However, I didn’t post it in “Breaking News” because I didn’t feel it was “Breaking News” since EVERYONE KNEW PELOSI was lying...this was just the proof.
Little Ms. Posting Police, let us all know when you take over FR.
shezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
They are covering for her. I am so shocked.
Porter Goss wrote an op-ed published by the Washington Post - on Wednesday, I think. It was read by our morning talk show guy but I have not heard a word about it elsewhere, or seen the article.
He said that he was in the first meeting with Pelosi and that there were at least 30 of these briefings. He was chair of the House Intelligence Committee, iirc, and the questions from the congressmen to the CIA briefers were “what else can we do to help you?”
No time right now to search for it.
Crossing my fingers that more of the truth comes out. I noticed how the emphasis on the lawyers went from prosecution to disciplinary action like disbarment or suspension. I believe that was an attempt to keep info like this from getting out.
Rush pointed out that they are still attempting to at least destroy the careers of the advisers. I pray that there are some patriots left who won’t sit idly by while people who dedicated themselves to our protection are strung up by the left.
Chicago politics...zero learned his politics well.
Pelosi lied and Americans might die because of her lies.
Has anyone thought about starting up a new reporting service so we can break the media’s lying to the US? Christian Broadcast News (CBN) would have been just the thing but don’t know if their service is really broadcasting the truth or not...
The thing is that Obama has control of the masses with his youtube videos and teleprompter speeches. Sadly this is all America hears.
Hum .. yet she wanted prosecutions ...
Well let them begin then.
I think democrats have a hell of a lot more to lose than the republicans.
