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.

Stan Laurel is demanding that you apologize immediately for comparing him with that ugly sow.

“When she gets throw out of her job then I will believe any investigation until then remember who runs Washington..She does!”

I have a feeling a sudden illness is going to force Nancy to spend more time with her family.

With the dims it is all about word manipulation- they are trying to characterize interrogation techniques as torture. There is a huge difference and they are deliberately trying to cloud the issue by calling legal interrogation torture. The media is more than happy to help them accomplish this.

We see this word play used in other issues- Illegal immigration for example. Illegal immigration is clouded by politicians of both parties and the media with legal immigration and there is no relationship between the two. It is like equating the person that robbed the bank with the person that went into the bank to cash a check.

Somehow we must stand up to the dims when they play games with words and not fall into their traps. They began this years ago by calling abortion a choice- they are not pro-abortion, they are pro-choice. Hah! It has been very effective for them to do this and we need to point out their word manipulation whenever we can so the not so bright public doesn't get sucked into their agenda.

How could she be so dumb to stir up this issue when she is the guilty party? It just shows that she expected the unconditional support of the MSM, not to mention her own party.

Because she's dumber than a box of Botox.

She really is that dumb. Get her away from the talking papers and she gets very confused.

I still smell a RAT(s).

It wasn't too long ago that John Conyers said the House Judiciary Committee was going to investigate ACORN and then earlier this month we got Conyers Kills ACORN probe.

I think you are right.
She and Reid are both a drag on the democrat party and the dems know it at this point.
I look for both to be jettisoned.
Course I’d like to see Pelosi Keel hauled too.

I have to wonder if all things considered, that a LOT of House Dems are facing serious reelection challenges and as long as Pelosi is in charge she is a huge liability for them.

It won't be the loons who are out for her hide. It will be the pros. However, unseating the first woman Speaker may have a little blowback, especially with Sarah Palin waiting in the wings. It will be an interesting call.

We can turn her over to that Spanish court that’s still investigating Bush.
