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.
Pelosi will say she didn’t understand and every turkey in the media will believe her.
I’m shocked!/s
Hey CIA - leak Obama’s Kenyan BC. Do your job and uphold The Constitution.
Sure, sure, sure. This is old news. It’s been on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NPR and local TV Channels and front page of NY Times a few days ago. /s
Good luck!
I guess you could say “pay back is a Nancy”
Since you are an insider to some degree, how much do you feel can be made of this?
Will you be doing an article on this we can look forward to in the future or would you be treading on Jed Babbin's turf?
I'm San Fran Nan and I like to watch...
These pikers should know better than to mess with the CIA!
I would not be suprised if this is Obama jerking Peloi’s dog collar to show her who is in charge.
Sadly I doubt the CIA or NSA will help save America by leaking O’s Kenyan BC.
I say give CAL's re-post a break since she may have further insight.
It's obvious to anyone with even half a brain, just
how much Pelosi and company “culture of corruption”
was a complete sham.
Even the Washington Post has it...
CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of ‘Enhanced Interrogations’

Queen Nancy “Marie Antoinette” Pelosi knew about waterboarding from the beginning? I am shocked!/sarc
Will her loony left constituents now desert her for Cindy Sheehan?
CIA revenge...sweet...

You betcha. Odumbo will regret messing with them. They will chew him up, spit him out along with his real birth certificate, then sit back and watch the show.
What I don’t get.
Bush goes to war in Iraq, with all the info and intell in the WORLD saying that Iraq had WMD’s, did Bush know 100% that they did have them, no, he couldn’t have. Yet Bush is a liar according to them, because Iraq ended up not having any. (Well, they didn’t have any when we invaded because Saddam moved them out of the country.)
Yet, Pelosi KNOWS that we were waterboarding, then says she didn’t know about it, but all the evidence points to her personally knowing about it!
So its kind of reverse, and I would ask a liberal, WHO IS THE LIAR?
Pelosi is such a stupid bitch. That’s about the only impression I get about her. She’s certainly not the only one, but you can normally steer clear of them.
Very well said!
“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.”
Everything about these people is one great deception.
