WASHINGTON – It's a political squall that won't die: What did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi know about harsh questioning of detainees, and when did she know it?

On Friday, the California Democrat was forced to issue yet another press release, reiterating her past assertions that she had been briefed in 2002 only on new interrogation techniques that had been deemed legal and were planned for future use.

Pelosi had made the same comments in 2007 when word first leaked that she was aware of the interrogation program and had not objected to it.

Political squall that won't die?

Hasn't it been only 24 hours since we found out Pelosi is a baldfaced liar?

Maybe to Pelosi's MSM supporters that's an eternity, but its a blink of the eye to the rest of us used to media campaigns against republicans.

Pelosi still explaining interrogation briefing

Translated: She and her staff are trying to come up with a lie that is at least remotely plausible and believable, yet by some twisted logic absolves her of any knowledge-of or responsibility-for interrogation techniques she has already jumped on the popular bandwagon against...

There, was that sentence long enough?

She lies ... I expect the media will treat her lies the same as they did Hastert, right?

I love this story.

I love it that the more she denies, the more it looks like she lies.

How could you keep pouring measured amounts of gas on this little fire to keep it going to infinity?

Newest Pelosi defense: I was briefed but my dog ate the report before I could read it.

She is not able to tell the truth, and would not know it if she did.

Pelosi is an misfit liar and small minded political hack. She’s been playing politics with national security issues. It’s serious stuff and people get hurt.
This idiot should be tried, found guilty, put against a wall and shot for treason.

“Pelosi still explaining interrogation briefing...”

Should read: “Pelosi still lying”
