She knew from the beginning. According to a CIA memorandum summarizing briefings to Congress on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorist detainees, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) knew from the very beginning that those techniques -- including waterboarding -- were being used on September 2, 2002.
According to the memo the very first briefing listed is 9/4/02 with then Rep. Porter Goss & Pelosi. The summary of the briefing says:
Briefing on EITs including use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah, background on authorities, and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed.
This directly contradicts Pelosis story, that we were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.
As HUMAN EVENTS reported earlier, Pelosi - by objecting to the use of the enhanced interrogation techniques - could have stopped them but didn't.
Pelosi's misstatements were apparently intended to divert attention from her and other Democrats in Congress who knew of all the enhanced interrogation methods -- in detail -- apparently as soon as they were being used.
Fixed that for you."
Sadly I think you're right.
Of Course Pelosi knew. And she didn’t have a problem with it as long as she thought it was keeping her surgically altered skin safe.
Pelosi lied and Americans might die because of her lies.
Pelosi frowned - people almost drowned?
Bela Pelosi.. is a sad specimen of a catholic!!! Does she go to Mass?
Pelosi should can Rangel??
Good idea. I’ve e-mailed it to several friends.
Hello, emergency services? There seems to be a woman here with her pants on fire.
The dems will pull that “Are you going to believe me or your lyin’ eyes” routine and the sheep will eat it up.
“Does she go to Mass?”
Probably the satanic black mass.
Admission Deficit Disorder.
Well if people here are right and the CIA is basically Dems, then we may have already seen the operatives turning against the politico socialists.
Just goes to show that there is very little that should be classified—it’s largely done to protect the politicians involved when they are breaking the law or lying through their teeth. “Hey, this might cause us a problem. Classify it as top secret.”
I always appreciate it when there’s a leak and we get to know the real story.
a little music to match Nancy’s mood.

Serious Question.
Why is she not being prosecuted under the Brogan Decision?
Brogan holds that anybody can be prosecuted for lying to any “federal official”
at any time for any reason. This is the law used to prosecute Scooter Libby
and Martha Stuart.
Pelosi lied to federal officials. She certainly did. So she is a felon. No
further discussion is required. Just sentencing.
Pelosi has always reminded me of Michael Corleone’s sister Connie.
Just cannot get it together. Finally lets Michael aka Obama handle things and gets shafted again.
This is Obama showing Pelosi just exactly who’s boss.
Liar pig lousy ping.
