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.
“What a *unt!”
runt? oh...
“Pelosi must resign!”
New bumper sticker:
Pelosi lied - People got waterboarded.
I guess I get more and more cynical as time goes by, but I suspect this leak came from an Obama operative.
I think we're going to see a lot of this in the future. You don't screw with the people you count on to watch your back. Obama and the dopes in Congress will be learning this lesson the hard way, and I'm going to love every minute of it.
“Until we take over the media we have no chance. “
How do you suggest?
That’s nice if it would actually come out, but it won’t. The media will cover it up. They never go after democrats...
“Obama thought putting a political hack like Panetta in charge of the CIA would give him cover”
Of course we know that this crew is a bunch of circus clowns...Bammy’s even got the ears for it...unfortunately these clowns are runnin’ our country..
I guess that you’ve noticed... she has been missing in action for the last several weeks. Good... now if the rest of the the congress critters would do that, along with the white House, we would all be better off.
“I suspect this leak came from an Obama operative.”
Why?
Yep... runt!
LLS
The memo is a wealth of information!!
“I guess that you’ve noticed... she has been missing in action for the last several weeks. “
Still on a shopping spree with our money though...
How about we waterboard congress... and the administration... all of ‘em.
Oh, I forgot... and the mainstream media... the ones who died in 2008.
Pelosi lied, Zubaydah cried....like a little girl!
This has already been posted.
CIA revenge
Eggsactly...I think the hapless Barry O has made another big mistake; this time by getting cross-ways with the CIA. They have ways..... I’ll finish your sentence ask the Kennedy brothers.
Hey Spooks.... great job!
Now start taking out all of the enemy within.
