Washington -- Senate testimony painted a stunning picture today of panicked Bush administration officials resorting to harsh interrogation techniques, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained mum about what she knew when about torture.
Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, ironically has taken the brunt of the fallout from President Obama's releasing of Bush administration "torture memos," which were made public last month against the advice of Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta, a former congressman from Monterey.
Another California Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, said she is heading a closed-door investigation in the Senate Intelligence Committee she chairs to find out what happened, sorting through thousands of classified documents, including torture memos written by a San Francisco judge and UC Berkeley professor
Feinstein and other Democrats have begun to rally to Pelosi's defense against Republican charges that Pelosi should have spoken out against torture earlier if she knew about it herself. Feinstein said she wants to find out whether Bush administration officials gave full information to members of Congress who had a constitutional duty to oversee the administration.
Pelosi herself stirred the pot by calling for a "truth commission" after the memos' release. It proved to be her first big stumble in an otherwise relentlessly disciplined leadership.
Enraged Republicans quickly turned the tables on Pelosi, who was briefed on torture in 2002, as a way to defend the CIA and former Bush officials from potential criminal investigations. These threatened to zero in on San Francisco Ninth Circuit appellate Judge Jay Bybee and UC Berkeley law Professor John Yoo, who helped provide legal grounds for the harsh techniques when they served in the Bush administration.

BTTT!
Read the whole article, it’s utterly revolting. It’s a liberal paean to appeasement, based solely on lies of omission and distortion.
Gee... I wonder why?
Friggin liberal idiots are gonna get millions killed.
You have disgraced the State before the masses. You have proven yourself a hypocrite, and a traitor to the ideals of the State; you have, as such, no function. You are OBSOLETE.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Please stop! My sides hurt!
Dead brain cells of the SF Chronicle. San Nan has been a blithering moron from day 1.
Of course DiFi can look in the mirror while muttering those same words and the application is the SAME.
Mrs Blum wants to find the truth?? $10 says she was also briefed in detail just like Nazi Pelosi.
“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained mum about what she knew when about torture”.
What ‘torture’?
Her face is a torture device.
What followed those lines in the “Twilight Zone” episode wouldn’t be pretty for Pelosi.
Soufan testifies that he is, himself, quite the hero of it all amongst so many amateurs and, Heaven ferfend, even lowly contractors ...
They will do ALL they can to preserve Pelosi's leadership.
Otherwise their gay marriage agenda which has been going full-throttle will falter. Thus, this vile twisting from the SF Chronicle.
Leftwingtards imagine the enemy will kill them last.
