Can anyone here imagine Cindy Sheehan as a congresswoman? Funny how "torture" is soooo evil when conservatives or Republicans are for it, but no big deal when a Democrat is somehow involved...

December 2007 was still the “Hate Bush Era” as Zero hadn’t usurped the office yet.

The press is basically playing a giant game of “Kill the man with the ball”. In this case the Man is Pelosi. Zero is still on his honeymoon.

Lib defense has already come to the aid of Pelosi. "Lets not forget who started all of this...BUSH!" Pelosi is just a victim of the "Bushcheneyhaliburtonguantanamoclimatechangeglobalwarming"
problem.

But it's disingenuous for the press and Pelosi's political rivals to feign outrage over what Pelosi knew and when. What did they know and when? Assuming they read the news, why didn't they make an issue of this back in 2007?

Standard Democratic Tactic #1: This Is Old News. It is time to move on, we need to get past this, there are many important things facing our country.

Standard Demcratic Tactic #2: Accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you are doing. The question is asked: why didn't they (meaning Repubs) make an issue of this back in 2007? Not asked is why didn't Pelosi make an issue "back then" 'o2, when she first learned of it? It's obvious Pelosi did know, and had no problem with it then. That is why the Repubs didn't "make an issue of it" then.

See how the Demos and their lackey press turn things around to make Repubs look bad? We Must k eep hammering this on the media with daily leaks, or they will eventually get the sheeple to say "enough already!". Include the media in the Pelosi scandal. Tie them into her as much as possible. This will make them fight back and keep the story alive through to the next elections, which is what we want.

Notice the media are not using the phrase "what did she know and when did she know it?". It's too reminiscent of Watergate, and the media do not want the sheeple to remember that as it is now a Demo in the crosshairs.

On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intelligence Committee chairman, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committee’s ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. They were the first members of Congress to be informed.

So, who was the director of the CIA, from 9/11 to 2004?

George J. Tenet was the Director of CIA, from 1997–2004 .

Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet then became the CIA director in August of 1997.

So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to Nancy.

In Harry Reid’s hometown, Mother Jones reporter Josh Harkinson slept in a former whorehouse, where the owner used to let young Harry swim in the pool.

When the Democrats step in it up to their knees, the brown stuff on their boots and pants never stinks.

Mother Jones is whining like a working girl that hasn’t been paid yet.

This “Mother Jones” story is disingenuous in that it attempts to isolate the “old news” factoid of Pelosi’s past knowledge of EIT from the real purpose Pelosi’s new found phony “outrage” over Bush approved CIA “torture” policies.

There was no mention in the posted article of Democrat plans for show trial prosecutions of Bush Administration and CIA operatives. Unbelievably, the lightweight Obama Administration was late in recognizing the risk of CIA agents running for cover when they were to be made the objects of a witch hunt. Now that he might be held responsible for another 9-11, Obama is backing off to reassess things.

News:
A report which promotes the idea that criticism is more important than performance.

Old news:
A report which embarrasses a Democrat.
