She knew from the beginning. According to a CIA memorandum 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 Pelosi’s 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.
Hey, you!
HOWEVER...
It also contains some real salt of the earth American patriots who did not drink the Obama kool-aid, in addition to some formerly starry-eyed Obama supporters who have been flabbergasted by how suddenly and eagerly the intelligence community has been sold down the river by Barry and the Congressional Democrats.
A whole new political gotcha game is afoot now...
It’s about time the CIA leaked something to help us instaed of the Traitor=Democrats
But will the mass media cover this much? Doubtful. The mass media had a field day when the CIA leaked stuff that hurt GW
Sorry, it doesn’t matter. We could have a picture of that witch dumping the water on the prisoners and the press would cover for her and the stupid american public would turn their heads. Until we take over the media we have no chance. Period.
*reference
No...not suprised that she lied. Maybe a little suprised (and giddy) that she’s actually been caught at it! I was sure any proof of her knowing about this would be lost or buried so deep they wouldn’t “uncover’ it until 2030.
Anyone think the CIA has an operative in Hawaii that specializes in Birth Certificate search and recovery missions? Hope so....
Yup... it happens..
Very few people like being treated that way. I don't know anything about the CIA, but I wouldn't want Jack Baur or Cloe(?) mad at me!
I drank too much tea and I was out of the room...
Shhh...nothing to see her, next story...how about...Republican sex scandal??? Where, where?!
Misstatements my backside. She lied.
Too bad the ones within the CIA who are spilling the beans will pay a heavy price and be used as an object lesson to keep future agents in line,

Your equation isn’t quite right:
Traitor=Democrats=Press
Sadly, that explains the second part of your post.
Whole mess of Rockefeller in there. McCain shows up in Oct 05, exactly the time the MCA was being negotiated and McCain flip-flopped was pwned by the WH.
Harry Reid - 9/6/06, waterboarding.
Man, this spreadsheet summary is going to cause the DEMs to positivey shut-up about the torture investigations. Game, set, match.
agreed that the impact will not be resignation, but it gives our side great fodder (if they decide to actually use it). The media has been against us for a long time, and the American people can be reached without the networks and NYT. It only takes swinging a small percentage of the people to get back in power. We’ve done it before, and we will do it again.
