Nancy Pelosis attempt to evade responsibility for her role in approving the use of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques took another hit today in the Washington Post and this time the fire comes from her side of the aisle. Pete Hoekstra upped the ante as well, demanding the release of precise minutes of Congressional briefings, and Leon Panetta has promised to make them available, at least to Capitol Hill:

Is zerO’s bus preparing to back up over San Fran Nan?
More confirmation that Pelosi lied: Whenever she looks in the mirror.
Nothing unusual here...all politicians lie. It’s part of the job.
Let’s start the train moving. Who’s going to replace Pelosi as speaker? I’ll bet there’s some behind the scenes action by Steny Hoyer to maneuver his way in the seat if Pelosi “ loses their confidence.”
The long knives are coming out....
I don’t think he cares for women politicians...He’s a good ole boy type...And the man gets the top positions. I also watch how he treats wifie....very non chalant.....
There's got to be some other Dems out there that think it's time for Nancy to go. She's getting politically dangerous to them with this.
But in the end, the stupid bitch just flat out lied. The media can't sweep this one under the rug. This could be a steamroller starting to roll over her crinkled carcass.
She deserves every bit of Hell that awaits her, in this life AND the next.
She and the Democrats are destroying the trust that is required to get the individual players to follow difficult orders. Very dangerous when you have to question if you will later be on trial and that uncertainty will cost lives maybe millions of lives.
Obama has already proven he’ll throw anyone who gets in his way under the bus...Pelosi would simply be the most prominent one to date.
Nancy Pelosi is a fair-weather patriot. A year or two after 9/11, she was all gung-ho to get the bad guys, never raising a peep of an objection to any tactics proposed. Now, ensconced in her cushy leadership role, with Democratic rule ahead for as far as the eye can see, she suddenly finds it expedient to cluck-cluck about those evil Republicans who tortured those hapless Gitmo detainees without her knowledge or permission.
If hypocrisy were the coin of the realm, Nancy Pelosi would be far, far richer on her own than her rich husband has made her by marrying her.
“Is zer0’s bus preparing to back up over SanFran Nan?” Apparently, he won’t have to unless he’s just jealous about her “outlieing” him the last few days. The committee apparently had to take an oath that none of what was discussed there should ever be talked about outside. She can keep up her lying without fear of the transcripts(if they do exist) ever being released to any probes or truth commissions.
House Judiciary Committee chairman/chief Bush administration "torture investigator", democrat John Conyers Jr of Michigan has also given his endorsement to the Revolutionary Communist Party movement/organization, "World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime" (they'll probably be dropping the "Drive Out the Bush Regime" portion of their name soon).
Click on the WCW link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Conyers' endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson's are further down the list. Former Black Panther, Illinois congressman Bobby Rush, is on the list as well. (the BPs were Maoist revolutionaries/domestic terrorists). (Janis) Karpinski's name appears several after convicted cop killer/Black Panther/communist revolutionary, Mumia Abu-Jamal's.

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Debunking the Deranged Charges by Media Darling Col. Karpinski
Let's see... the media needed to find someone to play along with their Haditha madness so who better than the... discredited, delusional, blaming, angry, and paranoid Colonel Janis Karpinski of Abu Ghraib fame who has mysteriously moved from villainess to hero in the eyes of the mainstream media.
Well, maybe not so mysterious since Karpinski is now a crowd favorite for the Far Left enthusiasts.
Karpinski with fellow extremist and Castro supporter Harry Belafonte at the January "International Commission of Inquiry On Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration"
Colonel Karpinski is a definite crowd pleaser with the anti-war crowd for her strange attacks on the military and Bush Administration.

Judiciary Chairman Conyers Issues Report Documenting Bush Abuses, Calling For Further Committee Investigation, Blue-Ribbon Panel, and Criminal Probes
For Immediate Release
January 13, 2009
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey, Lillian German
(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. released a nearly-500 page report documenting numerous abuses and excesses of the Bush administration. The report, titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," contains 47 separate recommendations designed to restore the traditional checks and balances of our constitutional system. Recommendations include calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.
"Even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, we still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions left in the wake of Bushs Imperial Presidency," Conyers said. Pointing to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, the Valerie Plame Wilson-leak, and the U.S. attorney scandal, Conyers continued, "Investigations are not a matter of payback or political revenge it is our responsibility to examine what has occurred and to set an appropriate baseline of conduct for future administrations."
In addition to the set of recommendations, the report contains a foreword by Chairman Conyers and detailed discussions of: the administrations legal approach to presidential power; the politicization of the Department of Justice; the administrations far-reaching assaults on individual liberty (including torture, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance); the misuse of Executive Branch authority; the administrations retribution against its critics; and the administrations excessive secrecy, noncompliance with congressional oversight, and manipulation of pre-Iraq War intelligence.

Speaker of the House lied...in other new today...the sun came up.
Her children and grandchildren will be embarrassed to carry her name - she is an embarrassment to California, to the country, to American women and grandmothers everywhere.
impeach her.
I remember that while telling the lie she mangled a word, a sure sign that she was lying.
Who is gonna force Pelosi out if the media refuses to follow this story up? No one.
“I didn't know” becomes “I don't remember that” becomes “they said something different” becomes in the current iteration “you see, it doesn't actually say that” (Thank you Clinton)
The Left has never had a problem with telling lies. Communist theology elevates it to one of the must-use tools of The Struggle. Kind of like ‘the state will wither away when we achieve our goals.’ Conservatives should always be on alert to trap and expose these lies as ruthlessly as possible. The Left won't stop and they are not embarrassed when caught out for they are doing a Good Thing. The truth has to be shown as unambiguously as possible. Let's do away with Newspeak “I misspoke” and substitute “you lied”
With grateful thanks to the insights of George Orwell.
At first I was jubilant. Then I thought, with all the face lifts and botox, how would anybody really know for sure?
