Pelosi About To Be Investigated Over The Interrogation Methods Used On Those Responsible For 9/11

Funny funny funny stuff here. Nancy Pelosi is going to be investigated about what she knew and when she knew it over the completely legal interrogation method used in 2002 on three al-Qaeda members responsible for 9/11:

The House majority leader reluctantly agreed Tuesday that congressional hearings should investigate Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that she wasn’t informed, more than six years ago, that harsh interrogation methods were used on an Al-Qaeda leader.

Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called Republican challenges to Pelosi’s assertion a diversion from the real question of whether the Bush administration tortured terrorist suspects. Nonetheless, he acknowledged the controversy should be resolved.

Democrats will hold a series of hearings on Justice Department memos released last month that justified rough tactics against detainees, including waterboarding — simulated drowning — and sleep deprivation.

While Democrats want the hearings to focus on what they call torture, Republicans have tried to turn the issue to their advantage by complaining that Pelosi and other Democrats knew of the tactics but didn’t protest. Pelosi was briefed in 2002 while on the House Intelligence Committee.

Will she survive the loons in her own party after they discover the evidence? I doubt it. But that is only if this investigation is for real, which I also doubt. We have seen time and again the “investigations” ran by Democrats turn out to be nothing more then a sham….the whole Plame idiocy comes to mind….and I would not be surprised to see the same level of scrutiny placed on Pelosi, the queen bee.

Couldn’t of happened to a more deserving person imo tho.

This will give the Dems a chance to hone their “udner the rug” sweeping techniques.

Oh, wait...she’s not acting.

The House majority leader reluctantly agreed...

Reluctantly my ass. They would all love to find a reason to oust her. She is an unstable moonbat and they know it.

The latest meme being thrown out for public consumption is that Bush broke the law because he failed to disclose the use of waterboarding to Democrats until six months after it was first deployed in 2002 on terrorist Abu Zubaydah. Even if that doesn't fly, the Dems...at least the ones at DU...indicate that they are more than willing to throw Pelosi under the bus to get Bush and Cheney.

If Steny Hoyer sees a chance to throw Nancy to the wolves, he’s got no reluctance at all.

At least this doesn’t seem to be going away, yet.

Pelosi has to be madder than a wet hen at Repubs and a few of her own. LOL!

She may be all of that, but she has had the House pretty well controlled for quite some time now. But then again, that's why some of the Dems would like to be rid of her.

This is Rahm Emanuel and Hoyer trying to consolidate a power base for the foreign intelligence agency they represent.
