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 Pelosi’s 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.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm waiting for the Dems to start turning on each other.

Perfect ones to use potlatch
CIA revenge...sweet...”
That is sweet!!
Pelosi has so many personalities, she makes the old movie “3 Faces of Eve” look like it was amatuer hour.
There isn’t one single word out of Pelosi’s mouth nor Dirty Harry’s that I believe.
Guess it’s time to start those prosecutions . . .
Yep, she ‘smells’ to high Heaven - although that’s not the place I associate with her.
For my sake please say it ain't so!
You're absolutely right. What a supremely idiotic stunt she attempted.
It is typical liberal...
I didn;t know, I wasn’t there, I wasn’t informed and guess what folks it works....
Like at Jeramiah Wrights sermons, I had no idea what he was saying so just shut up about it and leave Obama alone.
Like Bill Ayers, I didn’t know about his past and it happened so long ago when I was a kid so just move on and shut up about it.
Like all the nominees that never paid their taxes, and lobbyists Obama said he would never allow to work for him, well Obama didn’t know so just forget about it, get over it and shut up about it.
Earmarks, these don’t count, Obama didn’t do it.
Bad economy, nope not Obama, not even Democrats don’t pay any attention that they were in charge of Congress since this mess started, don’t complain that people warned against the Democrats 2006 midterm CHANGE elections and this is the fruit of their rule, don’t pay attention that it was Obama and the Democrats that approved the bail outs in 2008, it doesn’t count so shut up about it.
Like the Bow to the Saudi King you saw but was told it never happened and then you were told to just shut up about it.
Like the vault copy of a BC that no one will show and you will be told what their truth is and then told to shut up about it.
Like the AIG bonus’ that were approved by the Obama admin and then you were told that Obama was shocked and had no idea about those bonuses so just shut up about it and move along.
Like the AF1 NY terror flyover, it was just a photo op nothing more don’t ask anymore because we told you what it was now shut up about it.
When his wife cathes him in the Oval Office with some freak he’ll just do like Shaggy says...
“SAY IT WASN’T YOU”.
I hope the CIA starts to play with those in Congress...
Amen... what a stunt!
LLS
Of course she did. Everyone knew she was lying from the beginning. It was only a matter of a few days before she was proven to be a liar.
Exactly what is the GOP going to do about it?
Pretty much what they always do, which is not a damn thing.
Once dueling was outlawed it was pretty much a license for those without honor to run roughshod over their political opponents without fear.
I can just see the MoveOn.Org commercials on her now.....NOT.
I now understand why she’s so silent now.
Personally I would not think it was a big deal except for the fact she has been lying about it. Just like the dimocRATS lied about the AIG bonuses. Just a bunch of liars. I personally do not see the problem with waterboarding. I guess Arlen Specter found out the hard way.
A cunning stunt, to be sure.
AL....? Is that you, AL?
” OK, this socialist imbecile told a baldfaced lie.
Exactly what is the GOP going to do about it?

Bingo.
Agree.
