“Nancy Pelosi and the CIA: Who’s Lying Now?”
By Jane Jamison

SNIPPET: “Along with her difficulties ramming health care down our throats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has an ugly, slightly “cobwebbed” credibility issue that is about to get dusted off and given full, sunlit exposure due to new documents being pried loose by court order.

Pelosi’s “credibility” is under scrutiny due to her unusually harsh criticism of the Central Intelligence Agency last year. When liberals began flapping indignantly a few years ago over “enhanced interrogation techniques” such as waterboarding, which were used on detained terrorists after 9/11, the CIA defended itself in 2009, saying that certain members of Congress had been aware of the interrogations for years and had done nothing to stop them. It turned out that one of the most outspoken critics of the so-called “torture” techniques, Speaker Pelosi, attended a briefing or briefings.

Ensnared in her own word-web after she had so vociferously criticized the Bush administration for “torturing” terrorists, an indignant Pelosi called a news conference in May 2009 to make the remarkable or reckless assertion that the CIA was “misleading the Congress of the United States” about her knowledge and/or complicit approval of any waterboarding or other tough interrogation tactics and that “they [the CIA] mislead us all the time.””
