Bad morning for Pelosi @ 9:53 am by Eric Zimmermann
Two new developments in the "what did Pelosi know about waterboarding" series spell trouble for the Speaker.
First, CNN reports that an aide told Pelosi in February 2003 that waterboarding had been used on Abu Zubaydah. This contradicts Pelosi's assertion that she only knew about the legal rationale for waterboarding, not that it had been used.
Sheehy attended a briefing in which waterboarding was discussed in February 2003, with Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, who took over Pelosi's spot as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
This source says Pelosi didn't object when she learned that waterboarding was being used because she had not been personally briefed about it only her aide had been told.
This looks pretty bad for Pelosi, as though she avoided any "personal briefing" to maintain deniability.
Second, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is now reluctantly admitting that Congressional hearings on the matter should include questions about what Pelosi knew.
The first of those hearings is today, a Senate Judiciary Committee that starts in, oh, about 5 minutes. The witness lineup today means the Pelosi issue probably won't take center stage, but that might change with future hearings.
Yes, Pelois is a brain dead partisan loser and every Democrat knows it.
Nonsense, Sherman... she's been using a copy of our Wayback Machine that has been around for better than forty years.
Then how come... they are just now talking about it?
It is Algore's fault... He was keeping the Wayback suppressed to keep his Global Warming Scam from being found out.
Golly! What... happened?
I used mine copy here to prove his Global Warming Theory... is all hogwash.
That's... why?
Well, that... and I peed all over his shoes.
Clinton made the same mistake...assuming that he was smarter than everyone else and could lie his way out of a problem.
If Nancy said "I knew about this, hated it, but sometimes distasteful things need to be done to save American Children"...or something of the sort.... it's a non-story, or at worst, people yell about it until the next tempest in a teapot comes along.
I tell ya, the only thing keeping the Republican party afloat is the fact that the Dems are all idiots. If a half decent leader emerges amongst them, the GOP will be relegated to 2nd banana for a long, long time.
She would be the obvious cure for the “4 hour problem” associated with Viagra.
I’d bet Pelosi is so ticked at Hoyer she could chew nails. LOL!
Not his shoes...
I’m telling you that Pelosi sleep with eyes open because of all the Botox..
Even dumba$$ me picked up on that. This should be pushed into the sunlight more by us, on all posts/sites. Thanks to you for bringing it up.
OMG props Mr Peabody LOLOLOL!
I miss those cartoons LOL!
